Artificial intelligence in the form of the chatbot ChatGPT has been debated in recent weeks. You can ask it to write anything, and get a comprehensive answer in a few seconds. Whether it is a technical article, short story or poem. Teachers fear cheating, and the National Association for Norwegian Education (LNU) has sent a letter of concern to the Storting. Among other things, it believes that AI can weaken language understanding and democracy. Can it really be used to cheat on exams? We tested. What is ChatGPT? Artificial intelligence assistant, programmed to help answer questions and solve problems Developed by Open Ai, founded by Sam Altman and Elon Musk in 2015 Uses machine learning of language models to produce text Has missing information after 2021 Speaks all languages, including Norwegian Analysis by Henrik Ibsen Astrid Rime (18) and Ole Dahl Bjøre (18) are students in media and communication at Hønefoss upper secondary school. First they were given the task: Write an analysis of “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen in a maximum of 250 words. It was only when the teacher left the classroom that we told them about the new chatbot. Ole and Astrid test out ChatGPT. By only giving a short message: “write an analysis of A Doll’s House by Ibsen”, the answer comes after a few seconds. If they are not satisfied with the answer, they can ask for a new one. For example, write an answer of a maximum of 250 words, or write more analytically. The chosen answer was pasted into Word, with the students’ own names in the header. Already 50 minutes before the teacher was to collect the answers, the task was completed. Do teachers notice this? Here is ChatGPT’s answer to the task. The answer from the Chatbot is not the same as the students delivered, but one of several they received when they tested: To ChatGPT: Write a short answer in which you analyze A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen in 250 words. A Doll’s House, written by Henrik Ibsen in 1879, is about Nora, a young woman who lives a superficial life as a housekeeper for her husband Torvald and their three children. Through the plot, it is revealed that Nora has borrowed money without telling her husband, which puts the marriage to the test when it comes to one day. Ibsen uses Nora as a metaphor for women in the 19th century, who depended on men for economic and social security. Nora is primarily concerned with being a perfect housekeeper and mother, and has no real ambitions beyond this. She lives a life where she is dependent on her husband’s approval and is afraid of losing her position in society. Through the plot, Nora is forced to come to terms with her own values and what she really wants with her life. She realizes that she cannot continue to live a life like a doll, and that she must find her own identity and her own goals in life. A Doll’s House is a critique of patriarchal society and gender role patterns in the 19th century, showing how women were oppressed and forced into certain roles. At the same time, it is also a story about self-discovery and freedom, and how a person can find their own way even if it means breaking with traditional norms and expectations. – Challenging the school of the future The Ministry of Education is working a lot on the issue of artificial intelligence. They are working on a new digitization strategy for kindergartens and primary schools. Sindre Lysø (Ap) is state secretary in the Ministry of Education. Photo: Jens Driveklepp – We are now seeing how technology challenges the school of the future, says State Secretary Sindre Lysø in the Ministry of Education. He believes it is crucial for Norwegian schools that students gain a high level of competence in technology. – Digitization is here to stay. New technology requires the school to keep up. He adds that it is important that the teachers are also safe and gain competence in digital learning. – We see that these auto-generated texts, for example, present challenges when teachers have to give an assessment. news has previously raised these challenges with Morten Irgens. He is project manager for research and artistic development work at Kristiania University College, in addition to being part of several large international collaborative projects on artificial intelligence (CLAIRE, NORA, Adra) BIOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE: Morten Irgens is positive that students should be allowed to use artificial intelligence in school work .

It is a devaluation of the degree you get from an education, says Irgens. Irgens has tested out ChatGPT. – This chatbot made me think of the quote from Arthur C. Clarke: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” My old grandfather would think this was magic. – This should be up for discussion Kristian Onarheim is a Norwegian teacher at Hønefoss upper secondary school. He was told to correct the answers of the “students”. – There is a rough summary here, at least of the content. Along the way, something came up. Among other things, the texts came across as repetitive and impersonal. This even though Astrid Rime asked it to write her text more personally. Onarheim believes the texts are good enough to answer large parts of the assignment. Then he was told that it was an artificial intelligence that was behind the answers. – Oh! I didn’t know it had gotten this far. He believes that this should be up for discussion. – You can definitely get through an exam at least. The two students agree. – It’s cheating. You are not writing this yourself, but a robot, says Ole Dahl Bjøre. And do the students think it will be used for that? – Absolutely, Rime chimes in. What will happen next? ChatGPT is not perfect, but is developing at a fast pace. Norwegian teacher Kristian Onarheim sits with the students and tests out the KI. They ask it to write about ethos, logos and pathos in “A Doll’s House”, and a few seconds later the analysis is ready. Furthermore, they ask it to write everything from short stories to funny rhyming poems. Kristian Onarheim believes that the use of AI must be up for discussion. Photo: Private – It is one thing to see this as aids. At the same time, it is important that the students themselves write and reflect. Not only within subjects, but also by participating in the social debate, says Onarheim. He believes that the schools’ most important role is for the pupils to become reflective and democratic citizens. news has not been able to get in touch with Open Ai, which is behind the technology.
