學校是否能允許學生在做家庭作業時使用由人工智慧生成的內容?國際文憑組織( International Baccalaureate )是一個為青少年提供水平考試替代方案的機構,該組織表示,學生可以在作文或論文中使用 ChatGPT (“聊天生成型預訓練變換模型”,一種人工智慧聊天機器人程序)生成的內容。
ChatGPT has taken the world by storm since it launched last November. The AI chatbot answers questions online in text form in a human-like way, and it can also write its responses in different styles, such as, for example, that of a student writing an essay.
自從去年11月推出以來,ChatGPT 已席捲全球,這個人工智慧聊天機器人能夠模仿人類的溝通方式以文字形式線上回答問題,它還能以不同的文風撰寫回答,就如以學生作文的形式回答問題。
Some teachers are worried about how many of their pupils are using it to do their homework for them and have written to parents warning them about it. Others say they can spot its prose, and there are now tools being released which claim to be able to differentiate human text from that written by artificial intelligence.
一些老師擔心有很多學生在用 ChatGPT 做作業,並寫信給家長對此進行提醒,另有一些老師說他們能辨識出聊天機器人的行文方式,同時現在有一些工具被陸續推出,據稱可以辨別人類「自創文本」和「人工智慧生成的文本」之間的不同。
But the cat is out of the bag, and now the International Baccalaureate says its students can take advantage of the tech, just like using a calculator to work out a maths problem, as long as they admit to it by both crediting ChatGPT in the text and adding a reference note at the end.
學生可以使用聊天機器人幫他們做作業這件事情已不再是秘密,現在國際文憑組織表示,他們的學生可以利用這項技術,就像用計算機解答數學問題一樣,但前提是學生要承認使用了這項技術,在文字中註明資訊出自 ChatGPT,並在文章末尾將其列入參考註釋。
Good news for students, but ChatGPT’s knowledge database only goes up to September 2021, so it’s not very useful on topical subjects, and, as it gets its information from the internet, it can also be inaccurate.
雖然這對學生們來說是個好消息,但 ChatGPT 的知識資料庫只更新至2021年9月,因此該程序對於瞭解有關熱門話題的資訊來說並無大用,而且由於該程序是從網際網路上獲取資訊,所以它提供的內容也可能不精準。
