Text generators have been around for years now, but something has changed: they’ve finally become good. Where previous iterations required heavy editing, the latest version of ChatGPT from OpenAI uses better grammar than I. Sorry, me. But it has little creative spark.
That’s due to how ChatGPT works. Its machine learning was trained on 570GB of text from Wikipedia, the internet and books. Churning through 300 billion words taught the system how sentences are structured, but not the creative process that led to them.
While AI models can be trained on vast amounts of data and can recognise patterns and generate text that is coherent and coherently styled, they may not fully grasp the deeper meaning or implications of the words they are using. AI is not capable of creativity in the same way that humans are. It can generate text based on patterns it has seen in data, but it cannot come up with new ideas or perspectives in the way that a human writer can. This can lead to a lack of originality and depth in the writing.
Neverthless, teachers and lecturers are concerned, with the New York City Department of Education banning access to ChatGPT via its network and an Australian school returning to paper-and-pencil exams.
