Mike Sharples, an emeritus professor at the Open University in the United Kingdom, has seen a few such “major breakthroughs” during his 40–year career in artificial intelligence—including a precursor to ChatGPT called GPT-3. “Everyone in India knows about ChatGPT,” said Sengupta, who leads the Infosys Centre for Artificial Intelligence at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. If they stop learning how to write essays themselves and use ChatGPT instead, Sengupta said, they could become “extremely incompetent and addicted”. Sharples added: “Students go to university to learn, not to cheat.” How AI chatbots can help students Bernadette Mathew is one of Sengupta’s students, and she is researching cancer growth for a PhD in biology.
