AI experts, professors reveal how ChatGPT will radically alter the classroom: 'Age of the creator'

Former English teacher, Peter Laffin, predicts OpenAI's new artificial intelligence chatbot will lead to a learning crisis and force teachers to rethink education. Artificial intelligence is sparking concerns about plagiarism in schools worldwide. Still, the evolving technology poses tremendous benefits for creators and could soon be accepted in the classroom alongside tools like the calculator, according to professors and AI experts. Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Edward McFowland III compared generative AI, like ChatGPT, to other educational tools, such as the calculator and Wikipedia, with the former's benefits and the latter's disadvantages. ChatGPT has already been found to produce questionable results, with papers and responses sometimes including significant statistical or historical errors.
