Introduction to ChatGPT
ChatGPT, or "Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer," is a cutting-edge natural language
processing (NLP) tool that can generate human-like text based on a given prompt or context.
Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT-3 model, which has been trained on a massive
amount of text data and has the ability to generate text that is often indistinguishable from text
written by a human.

What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a language model that uses deep learning techniques to generate text. It is pre-trained on
a massive amount of text data, including books, articles, and websites, which allows it to generate text
that is similar to text written by humans. It is designed to generate text in response to a given prompt
or context, and it can be fine-tuned for specific tasks such as language translation, summarization,
and question answering.

history as a product of Open AI.

How ChatGPT works


ChatGPT uses a technique called "transformer architecture" to generate text. The model is trained on
a massive amount of text data (over 8 million documents and over 10 billion words) (Inteligencia
Artifical, 2023), which allows it to understand the relationships between words and phrases. When

Page 2 of 24
given a prompt or context, the model generates text by predicting the next word or phrase based on
the input it has been given. The model can also be fine-tuned for specific tasks by training it on a
smaller, task-specific dataset. ChatGPT has no ‘real’ intelligence, instead merely predicting what the
most likely response to a prompt would be. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as a ‘stochastic
parrot’. Others refer to it as the ‘King of Pastiche’ as it is really just putting together pieces of texts

According to a recent blog post on the disadvantages of ChatGPT content, it notes that it is (currently)
unable to use idioms - the absence of which may serve as signal to detection software (Crothers et al.,
2022). It also lacks artistic expression devoid of irony, humour or metaphors as well the ability to
provide unique insights. It issues verbose, often overly detailed responses and tends to steer away
from proffering an opinion with a bias to adopting a neutral stance. Apart from the disclaimer which
states that it can fabricate facts, its responses appear to be plausible with an overtly formal tone
adopted yet evidently too literal in style. (Montii, 2023) It is however not sentient and has no
temporal reasoning.

That said, its efficacy really depends on the inputted prompt (Bouchard, 2022). As such there is a
need for AI literacy, in particular skills on Prompt Engineering, in order to generate content that is
qualitatively superior to the superficial responses often generated by simple prompts.

Other key limitations of its operations include the inability to access the internet; its input text limit
(though concise text is recommended in order to get the accurate results) and lack of common sense
and up-to-date knowledge given that its training data set comprises entries only up to 2021.

Further ChatGPT prompts used in this section


What are your limitations?

As a language model, I have several limitations:


1. Bias: My training data reflects the biases and stereotypes present in the text it was trained
on. This can sometimes result in me generating responses that are biased or insensitive.
2. Lack of Context: I don't have access to external information or context outside of what's
provided in the prompt, so my responses can sometimes be limited or incorrect.
3. Lack of Common Sense: I was trained on text, but I don't have real-life experiences or
common-sense knowledge. This can result in me making mistakes or providing unrealistic
answers.
4. Creative Limitations: Although I can generate text that is similar to text I was trained on, I
don't have the ability to truly understand or create original ideas in the same way a human
can.

It's important to remember that I'm a machine learning model and not a human, and there will
always be limitations to my understanding and ability to respond.

Opportunities for learning & teaching offered by


ChatGPT
ChatGPT offers a number of opportunities for learning and teaching, including:

• Enhanced intrinsic learner motivation, foundational knowledge building and deep


understanding and expertise. (Hardman, 2023)
• The automation and rapid design of lessons
• An opportunity to redesign assessment strategies
o Some institutions are opting for more oral exams, group work and handwritten
assessments! (Huang, 2023)
o A new focus on assessing prompts as opposed to outputs and the evaluation of the
recombined output signifying the nature of knowledge creation as well as how creative
thinking is connected to innate critical thinking. (Firth, 2023)
• Providing accessible information
• Providing innovative opportunities for students to reproduce existing knowledge in order to
enact high order thinking
• An opportunity to pursue the provision of new critical information literacies such as prompt
engineering skills, AI media literacy
• The repositioning of academics as co -creators of knowledge through the immersion in
collaborative, knowledge- building pedagogies (Carvalho et al., 2022, )
• An opportunity to reconceive how student competencies can be measured.
• The opportunity to cultivate skills which will allow for the integration of machine learning
views guided by a human perspective.

Further ChatGPT prompts used in this section


How does one gauge student competence in the age of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT?

To gauge student competence in the age of AI, it is important to assess not just their ability to recall
information, but also their critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills. This can be done
through various assessments methods, such as:
1. Project-based assessments: Assign projects that challenge students to apply their
knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios.
2. Peer evaluations: Have students assess each other's work, which helps to develop critical
thinking and communication skills.
3. Self-reflection and self-assessment: Encourage students to reflect on their own learning
process and evaluate their own progress.

Page 4 of 24
4. Case studies and simulations: Provide students with complex, real-world scenarios and
have them analyse and solve problems.

It is also important to consider the limitations of AI and not solely rely on it for assessing student
competence. AI is still a developing technology and may not always accurately gauge the full range
of a student's abilities and potential.

What types of Artificial Intelligence literacies would be required by students to engage critically with
ChatGPT? Please describe what Prompt Engineering is and whether this will be required by students
from various disciplines, not necessarily information science or computer Science, in order to
generate deep insightful information from ChatGPT.

To engage critically with ChatGPT, students from various disciplines may benefit from having a
general understanding of:
1. Natural Language Processing (NLP): The field of AI that focuses on allowing computers to
understand, interpret, and generate human language.
2. Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning that uses multi-layer neural networks to
model complex patterns in data.
3. Machine Learning: The field of AI that focuses on developing algorithms that allow
computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions

In addition to these, prompt engineering refers to the process of designing and crafting questions
or prompts that are well-suited for a specific AI model, such as ChatGPT. This can help ensure that
the model produces high-quality responses that are relevant and accurate. Whether students from
various disciplines would need to learn about prompt engineering would depend on their specific
goals and the types of information they are looking to generate from ChatGPT.

In general, having some understanding of prompt engineering may be beneficial for anyone who
wants to use AI models, like ChatGPT, in a way that maximizes the quality of the information
generated.

Threats to Learning and Teaching


While ChatGPT offers many benefits for higher education, there are also some challenges that
educators may face when using it, including:

• The use of ChatGPT may discourage students from developing their own critical thinking,
creativity and writing skills. Students may become too reliant on the tool and not learn how to
generate their own ideas and thoughts.
• ChatGPT may not be able to fully understand and incorporate the nuances and context of a
particular subject or assignment and may thus provide overly simplistic answers or incorrect
answers.
• The use of ChatGPT may raise concerns about plagiarism and academic integrity.
• Students may not understand that ChatGPT is not a replacement for human intelligence

Page 6 of 24
• Students may use ChatGPT as a first port of call to generate responses to
assessments without attempting to either engage initially on their own OR engage further
with the AI generated response thereby limiting the students sense of their innate potential.
• Students may not understand the limitations of ChatGPT.
• Students may not be able to discern fabricated information.
• Lack of accountability: Since the responses generated by AI models are not directly linked to a
specific individual, there may be concerns about accountability for the information provided
and its accuracy.
• Bias and Discrimination: AI models like CHATGPT are trained on large amounts of text data
and can sometimes exhibit biases and discriminatory behaviour learned from the training
data.

Assessing student learning


• Use open-ended questions: Open-ended questions that require a written response cannot be
easily answered by ChatGPT. These types of questions can also encourage critical thinking and
analysis.
• Use multiple-choice questions with a twist: Instead of traditional multiple-choice questions,
use questions that require students to analyse and interpret information. For example,
instead of asking "What is the main theme of the story?", ask "How does the author use
symbolism to convey the main theme of the story?"
• Use peer review: Have students review and evaluate each other's work. This not only assesses
their understanding of the material, but also promotes collaboration and critical thinking.
• Use real-world applications: Ask students to apply their knowledge in a real-world scenario.
For example, ask them to write a proposal for a research project or to create a marketing plan
for a new product.
• Nowadays, scientific endeavours are increasingly relying on AI. Scientists and engineers utilise
supercomputers to predict, classify and infer to solve complex problems. These scenarios
could be roleplayed in the classroom

Further ChatGPT prompts used in this section


Give me examples of work using ChatGPT (this was a follow up question to “How can I use ChatGPT
in my learning and teaching activities in higher education whilst still ensuring academic integrity?”
and is included here to follow the structure of the document)

Here are a few examples of original work that students can create using ChatGPT:
1. Creative writing: Have students use ChatGPT as a writing prompt and generate a short
story, poem, or personal essay based on the information and ideas generated by the
model.
2. Problem-solving: Have students use ChatGPT to research a complex problem and then use
their own critical thinking skills to develop a solution.
3. Research projects: Have students use ChatGPT to gather information on a particular topic
and then use that information to write a research paper or create a presentation that
presents their own original insights and ideas.

Page 12 of 24
4. Group projects: Have students work in teams and use ChatGPT to research and brainstorm
solutions to a common problem. The teams can then present their own original solutions to
the problem.
5. Debates: Have students use ChatGPT to research both sides of a contentious issue and then
use that information to participate in a class debate, presenting their own original
arguments and ideas.

These are just a few examples of original work that students can create using ChatGPT. The key is to
assign tasks that require students to use their own critical thinking and creativity, rather than simply
repeating information from the model.

How can I use ChatGPT in my learning and teaching activities in higher education whilst still
ensuring academic integrity?

ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for learning and teaching in higher education when used
appropriately and with consideration for academic integrity. Here are some suggestions for using
ChatGPT in an academically responsible manner:
1. Use ChatGPT as a supplement to, not a substitute for, traditional teaching methods.
ChatGPT can provide additional information, resources, and practice opportunities, but it is
important to rely on human-led instruction and assessment as well.
2. Cite ChatGPT as a source of information. If you use information from ChatGPT in your work,
it is important to properly cite the source. This helps to maintain academic integrity and to
give credit where credit is due.
3. Assign original work. Assign tasks that require students to generate original ideas, rather
than simply repeating information from ChatGPT. This helps to foster critical thinking and
creativity, while also promoting academic integrity.
4. Encourage students to use ChatGPT as a tool for learning, not a way to cheat. Make it clear
that using ChatGPT in an academically dishonest manner (such as copying answers without
proper citation) is not acceptable and will have consequences.

By using ChatGPT in a responsible and thoughtful manner, it can be a valuable addition to your
teaching and learning activities in higher education.

Detection of misuse of ChatGPT by students


• Teachers can use plagiarism detection software to check for similarities between student
work and text generated by ChatGPT.
• Teachers can also use their own knowledge and expertise to identify patterns or
inconsistencies in student work that may indicate the use of ChatGPT.
• Teachers can also encourage students to cite and reference any text generated by ChatGPT in
their work.
• There is concern though but the accuracies of the detectors which sometime flag the user’s
original work as being fake.
