Also, math changed after calculators became ubiquitous and questions became more about the concepts (which calculators don't help) rather than the arithmetic. ChatGPT seems to be good at reciting facts (that is, when it doesn't get them hilariously confused on occasion), but not so much at making the sorts of synthesis that a good essay entails.
- jackson1442 4y agoThis, in my opinion, is a very good thing. Learning _should_ be more about synthesis than about fact memorization anyways, it's recognized as one of the highest forms of learning under Bloom's Taxonomy. While yes, it means that our education system will need to adapt, I hope it also means we'll be teaching our students better because they'll be encouraged to learn at a deeper level.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoChatGPT is surprisingly good at synthesis. For me that's where it provides the most value. You can ask it write an essay on a novel prompt and it's able to spit out something decent, if perhaps factually incorrect. A lot of work still to do here, but the progress leads me to believe that a decade from now essays written by people will be considered novel.
