What if the test is irrelevant to the current times?
“Those with ChatGPT solved 48 percent more of the practice problems correctly, but they ultimately scored 17 percent worse on a test of the topic that the students were learning.”
So, in the real world, where people can use chatgpt in their jobs, the kids that use it will do better than the kids who don’t.
Maybe a better test is: can you catch chatgpt when it is wrong? Not, can you answer without ChatGPT?
ChatGPT won't be able to help with all situations in the real world though. And there's a chance OpenAI fails and other LLMs become less accessible and more expensive. Future lawsuits and legislation could lead to them becoming cripled. It's a hell of a crutch to teach the next generation to lean on.
Depends on the job. My sister uses an AI (Gemini) so much that she has a subscription. Her husband also uses it frequently, and keeps it open in a tab at all times. He is a programmer, and she does marketing. I don't use an LLM for work, but very easily could if I wanted. All three of us mostly communicate with coworkers/partners/clients through email, so it's definitely doable.
Ok makk we're all set to perform your open brain surgery tomorrow I'm going to have chatgpt open on my laptop so we should have that tumor out in a jiffy.
