Is ChatGPT a threat or a positive shift in school education | Explained

India Today  

The Indian education system is facing an imminent challenge in the form of a pupil-teacher ratio gap. RISE OF AI CHATBOTS The rise of generative AI and the emergence of chatbots like ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, Microsoft’s Bing, and others have emerged as a boon for teachers. The administrative works of teachers include writing standard letters to parents and pupils; keeping and filing different records; producing analyses of attendance figures; producing analyses of examination results; and taking verbatim notes, or producing formal minutes work of meetings, amongst others. For instance, ChatGPT’s Code Interpreter is one such plugin that can do data visualisation, clean datasets, manage file uploads, and perform basic mathematical calculations, along with other administrative work of teachers. Immersive learning has also increased as students can now talk to computer versions of people from the past, like George Washington and Cleopatra to Martin Luther King Jr., and even characters from books like Winnie the Pooh, making classroom fun.
