Pros and Cons of ChatGPT in Education
The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology continues to gain momentum, and one of the current highly discussed topics is the AI technology called Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT).
The presence of ChatGPT has sparked pros and cons, particularly in the field of education. Therefore, the UPH Master of Communication Science (MIKOM) program organized an online seminar with the theme “Unraveling the Mystery of ChatGPT” on April 1, 2023
The seminar featured Ir. Tony Seno, M.Ikom, a practitioner in the field of Information Technology and Policy Advocacy, and Dr. Fitzerald K. Sitorus, S. Sos., S. Fil., a lecturer in Communication Science at UPH.
Ir. Tony stated that the existence of ChatGPT has led to remarkable and previously unimaginable advancements. However, he also cautioned that not all information or answers provided by ChatGPT are accurate. ChatGPT can only generate responses based on the input supplied to it. Therefore, it is important to verify and validate the information provided by ChatGPT before using it.
In agreement with Ir. Tony, Dr. Fitzerald also stated that AI can only generate responses based on the input it receives.
“ChatGPT is built based on information from the internet, such as Wikipedia, so it may contain errors, biases, inaccuracies, and may lack contextual understanding. Additionally, ChatGPT does not have reflective abilities to realize what it is doing or self- consciousness. Therefore, it cannot generate something on its own, such as having ideas or imagination,” he explained. Read more
