Large Language Models Will Change The Way Children Think About Technology And Impact Every Interaction Paradigm

It is a call for education and research in this space so that we can harness this irresistible force for more good than harm, and provides some early themes for designers to consider. We firstly discuss where and how LLMs have been used in school educational settings, and then explore the new opportunities that recently released models offer. A small-scale investigation reveals potentially large impacts on how children learn, and we highlight key things that we as a community need to be aware of. 2 A SIMPLE GUIDE TO LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS Large Language Models -- think ChatGPT, Gemini, GPT-3, CoPilot -- are immense deep learning neural networks with exceptional numbers of parameters, which are trained to pre dict sequences of words, having been trained on most of the contents of the Internet. If I asked you to complete the sentence Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you ..... it is quite likely that, if you have been brought up in a Wester n culture, you will recognise the nursery rhyme and complete the line with .....are LLMs do this, but on a massive scale. As the LLM has processed m uch of what has ever been written, it has ingested a large number of sequences of words, and compresses them to c reate an internal representation. An LLM can be seen as the JPEG of the web -- it is a lossy compressed version of the internet.
