DAYTON, TN – The Open-AI powered chatbot \u201cChat.GPT” is taking the world by storm. Set up as a conversation, the Siri-like technology helps users research, create content and solve problems. The platform specializes in natural language communication, designed to help users understand concepts, generate creative ideas and begin the research process. As with all technology, Chat.GPT has pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Bryan College, professors have been learning about the technology since its release in December 2022, with the consensus that it has benefits and drawbacks for student learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s gonna have applications around research, more than anything. It can be very, very helpful for getting quick and accurate overview information,\u201d said Dr. Daniel Gleason.  And as a professor, he has found Chat.GPT helpful for narrowing down classroom reading material. \u201cI\u2019ve heard it described as a really smart coworker,\u201d Dr. Gleason said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynn Russell, professor of English, discovered Chat.GPT through a fellow professor and believes it is important to address the technology in class, particularly how it can be used, particularly how it can be used ethically. \u201cI\u2019m integrating it into my course, College Writing II. We\u2019re doing an essay that asks students their position on the ethics of Chat.GPT in education and their potential careers,\u201d Russell said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a natural language program, Chat.GPT has noteworthy implications for the field of English. Although not much is known about how the technology will impact our language, Dr. Gleason compared it to the printing press, which had a standardizing effect on the English language.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Lord has given us not a spirit of fear, but a sound mind. There\u2019s nothing new under the sun, so let\u2019s use a sound mind and think through this ethically, responsibly, that\u2019s how we should always be approaching writing regardless of Chat.GPT or not,\u201d Russell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chat.GPT comes with a host of possibilities and problems, so using it well matters. Other ways for classes to use AI include stimulating discussion and student response to the AI\u2019s analysis of complex ideas. There are limits to the AI\u2019s usability, but in most cases, it retrieves information quickly and has the ability to eliminate a lot of false answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
