Artificial Intelligence Will Change Higher Ed for the Better. If professors respond correctly, ChatGPT can be a friend, not a foe.

I do have to say that I’m impressed with chatGPTs abilities. I spent a couple of hours discussing with it, its capabilities in determining the education level on the person it is chatting with and how it tailors its responses to that person. It claims it will analyze if it’s talking to a child or not. We also discussed sentiment analysis and how it could sense if a person was happy or sad or angry. Another topic was if it could be modified to handle 911 emergency medical calls.

Its understanding of the content of a conversation is remarkable. That being said, it’s scary as hell.

I saw some question and answers to this thing. It was being asked SCI FI type of questions. It was a perpetual lair. It just makes everything up.

I’d outsource all of my Free Republic posts to ChatGPT, but it is not programmed to make disparaging remarks. So, what’s the fun in that?

I agree with poster #6. I tried a question on a critique of climate change and was rewarded with a snarky reply with no attempt at producing an essay.

Uh, no.
