OPENAI, the Chatgpt developer, announced today the launch of the “study mode” in order to effectively reduce students using the chatbot to withdraw many processes required for education.
OPENAI says that the functionality “helps you solve the problems step by step instead of simply getting an answer”. Accessible via the Tools button on Chatgpt Free, Plus and PRO, as well as team users and Chatgpt Edu users, the bot becomes an interactive partner once it is activated, rather than a collaborator in cheating.
Students who use chatbots to carry out homework or write trials have become a major concern since the rise of generative chatbots of artificial intelligence. It is not only because it is contrary to ethics, but because the learning process itself is how young adults or children improve their intelligence.
A recent study by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has shown how students count on Chatgpt to write reduced tests of cognitive engagement. Scans have shown that brain regions associated with attention, memory and higher order reasoning were less active. In addition, the students of the study who used AI transmitted in trials that researchers called “soulless”.
“Just as relying on a GPS dulls our sense of orientation, counting on AI to write and reason can reduce our ability to do these things ourselves,” noted the report. “It is a debt that worsens over time.”
It seems that if the students choose an almost total abdication rather than the increase, allowing the bot to make the big dupbage and to barely engage with him, it could be problematic for their future. Openai's new mode of study hopes to mitigate some of the problems by testing the student with what he said to be “invites of Socratic questioning and self-reflection”. The company says that it has worked with teachers, scientists and pedagogy experts to create a functionality that “will help students learn something, not just to finish something”.
This does not mean, of course, that students compete for a good note at a small cognitive cost will not only bypass the study method and will not adopt the method of reflection not to face – it is not like a teenager to do. But it is a step in the right direction for fear that the next generation does not pass their years of training actively blunt their intelligence rather than to flex their cogitative prowess.
