Abstract

ChatGPT has garnered unprecedented popularity since its release in November 2022. This artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) is designed to generate human-like text based on patterns found in massive amounts of data scraped from the internet. ChatGPT is significantly different from previous versions of GPT by its quality of output, capability to interact and hold human-like conversations, enormous speed, and ability to have its output refined by users or experts. New iterations of ChatGPT as well as open source and alternative LLMs, and ChatGPT plugins extend the current capabilities of ChatGPT and offer unlimited opportunities to change how we do things. Despite its newfound popularity and capabilities, ChatGPT is fraught with concerns such as cheating, misinformation, bias, abuse and misuse, and privacy and safety. On the other hand, the integration of ChatGPT in the classroom prompts us to envision better ways of providing instruction and assessment of writing skills. ChatGPT also provides unparalleled approaches for personalized learning. As educators, we must consider and deal with the serious concerns of using ChatGPT but simultaneously explore how this AI technology can enhance and extend current methods of instruction. In this paper, authors explain what ChatGPT is and how it works, and future iterations of ChatGPT. They also present concerns and opportunities, and educational implications of using ChatGPT in the classroom.

ChatGPT和生成式人工智能技术:关注和新机遇的混合包

自2022年11月发布以来，ChatGPT获得了前所未有的人气。这种人工智能(AI)大型语言模型(LLM)旨在根据从互联网上抓取的大量数据中发现的模式生成类似人类的文本。ChatGPT在输出质量、交互和保持类似人类对话的能力、极高的速度以及由用户或专家改进输出的能力方面与以前版本的GPT有很大的不同。ChatGPT的新迭代以及开源和替代llm，以及ChatGPT插件扩展了ChatGPT的当前功能，并提供了无限的机会来改变我们做事的方式。尽管ChatGPT最近很受欢迎，功能也很强大，但它仍然充满了欺骗、错误信息、偏见、滥用和误用、隐私和安全等问题。另一方面，ChatGPT在课堂上的整合促使我们设想更好的方式来提供写作技巧的指导和评估。ChatGPT还为个性化学习提供了无与伦比的方法。作为教育工作者，我们必须考虑并处理使用ChatGPT的严重问题，同时探索这种人工智能技术如何增强和扩展当前的教学方法。在本文中，作者解释了ChatGPT是什么，它是如何工作的，以及ChatGPT的未来迭代。他们还提出了在课堂上使用ChatGPT的关注和机会，以及教育意义。

期刊介绍： Under the editorship of D. LaMont Johnson, PhD, a nationally recognized leader in the field of educational computing, Computers in the Schools is supported by an editorial review board of prominent specialists in the school and educational setting. Material presented in this highly acclaimed journal goes beyond the “how we did it” magazine article or handbook by offering a rich source of serious discussion for educators, administrators, computer center directors, and special service providers in the school setting. Articles emphasize the practical aspect of any application, but also tie theory to practice, relate present accomplishments to past efforts and future trends, identify conclusions and their implications.
