Reactions: Princeton faculty discuss ChatGPT in the classroom
In November 2022, OpenAI released a chatbot called ChatGPT — and immediately sparked a heated debate about the ethical use of artificial intelligence, especially in education. Trained on years of data obtained from the internet, ChatGPT garnered attention for its ability to potentially generate quirky sonnets and multi-paragraph essays, write code, and even compose music. The full implications of ChatGPT’s use are yet to be revealed, given its recent development. However, in academic circles, some have noted that students may rely on ChatGPT to cheat and plagiarize, while others point out that ChatGPT is a helpful tool for generating ideas and modeling responsible use of technology.
