Interview: How ChatGPT is changing teaching

Robert Lepenies, the president of Karlshochschule International University in Karlsruhe, wants to integrate artificial intelligence into seminar teaching. In an interview - which c't conducted with him via e-mail - he argues for a new relationship between man and machine. Lepenies: There have been studies on the fact that even experts can't tell the difference between human and artificial expertise. For example, the philosophers Eric Schwitzgebel, Anna Strasser and Matthew Crosby conducted an experiment in which they asked people whether they could recognize which answers to profound philosophical questions came from the philosopher Daniel Dennett and which from GPT-3. Even Dennett experts had a hard time distinguishing GPT-3 texts from Dennett's work (The Computerized Philosopher: Can You Distinguish Daniel Dennett from a Computer?).
