Both critical thinking and a lot of knowledge are required to be able to utilize the Artificial Intelligence robot ChatGPT. Then teachers cannot ban artificial intelligence, and leave students as ignorant in the face of new technology. In an article on news, Harald Jordheim advocates banning ChatGPT in schools, because he believes it will lead to lazy students and a lot of cheating. A prohibition line, as Jordheim is advocating, will lead to a lack of knowledge which could hit the weakest pupils the hardest. In order to lift all students, I therefore believe that ChatGPT must be on the syllabus. Knowledge is better than prohibition. In the news, we read sunshine stories about people who, seemingly without effort, can use ChatGPT to get A’s on story submissions and MPs who use the tool to formulate questions for the government. The reality is quite different. It requires a lot of knowledge to be able to use ChatGPT. Imagine this: If you sit with 2 in history and read about Andrea who got 5 from KI, it is easy to resort to ChatGPT yourself. Unfortunately, you are likely to end up with an assignment full of errors, because you have not learned how to find the errors and omissions in the text. If you don’t know how to ask specific and good questions, ChatGPT will not generate an answer that you can work on. It is a fact that ChatGPT is unreflective, repetitive and contains unfortunate political views. The schools must take this into account, so ChatGPT can become an aid for everyone, not just for the brightest, most reflective and critical students. The most important thing the school does is educate us for the future. This means teaching us tools so that we can keep up with social development and solve the big challenges that lie ahead. In the same way that we learn that Wikipedia must be used with a critical sense, since anyone can write the articles there, we must learn that ChatGPT also generates errors. Instead of bans, we must learn all the strengths and weaknesses of different tools. Jordheim compares ChatGPT to driving a car when the task is to run 20 kilometers, and that ChatGPT is therefore cheating. The future, however, will require us to move 200 kilometers in the shortest possible time. Then technology like ChatGPT will be a necessity to overcome the challenges that my generation will face. Therefore, I think the school must give all students the knowledge to use artificial intelligence in a good way. We need the knowledge of where and when it is relevant and useful to use the tool, and then the school cannot prohibit it in all teaching. Read the chronicle:
