 Hello everyone, welcome back to another ChatGPT video and this one we're going to talk about academic dishonesty, plagiarism and how professors, students and even bystanders are dealing with this. As you guys know, you know, academic dishonesty and plagiarism has been around as long as there's been institutions of higher learning. However, with the release of ChatGPT there just a month ago or so it has really escalated across all sorts of high schools and in university part of me and college campuses. It's getting out of hand. The reason why is ChatGPT is basically a robot. It's an AI robot that you can speak to for free that's been trained on all of the content on the internet up until the end of 2021. It is in no way perfect. It makes lots of mistakes if you ask it the same question in different ways. It'll occasionally give you the wrong answer or a different answer. It is known to hallucinate a bit where it gives you multiple responses and one of them isn't correct or both of them aren't correct, etc. It is not perfect but it's really damn good. For those of you that don't know what ChatGPT is, it's a generative pre-training transformer which is a really fancy word of like I said an AI robot that pretty much knows everything. That said, it's turning the academic world upside down as I alluded to and here's the thing teachers, professors, teachers are trying to find ways to combat it as our various campuses etc. It's top of the mind. It's a big thing and before I go into a couple ideas if you are a teacher or a dean or a professor or anything like that and you're combating it I am interested if leave a comment below as to how you're handling it and what your experience is with ChatGPT so far. That said, I'm going to give you a few ideas and I'm going to give you a few examples of what people are doing so if you're a student this is what you can expect and if you're a professor or a teacher for example these are some ideas you might want to try out in your classroom. The first one is by Anthony Ohman. He's a professor of philosophy at Northern Michigan University and here's what happened just a little while ago. One of his students submitted a paper and the paper was incredible it was the best in the class and from what I can gather from the New York Times magazine Kelly Huang wrote it so credit to her. This paper was like miles above everything else it was it was incredibly written well argued etc etc. Anyways long story short and Mr. Ohman, Professor Ohman approached the student and said hey this is really really good what's the deal here the red flags went up so to speak and anyways he ended up or she ended up part of me I don't know for sure could have been a lady or a man probably a female if you go by statistics but either way the the student admitted to using ChatGPT and again I don't know what the punishment was if anything but it led to Mr. Ohman changing the way he does his classes. Now students are required to write first drafts in the classroom you can't just get your you know get your essay question and take it home and then write it with the bot. Now you write it in class this is one of the ways that he's combating it this is one of many and again I want your opinion on it but yeah you you write it in class and he uses monitors that browse and restrict computer activity so there's no real funny business going on better yet later drafts for the later draft students have to explain each of their revisions it's not enough to submit the revision you now have to basically explain it kind of like if you're getting a doctoral if you're doing your doctoral thesis and you had to you know do your little bit where you have to discuss it and explain it to the proctors whatever it is it's it's kind of getting to that stage now. Another thing he mentioned is he's considering having students run ChatGPT answers so use it to get answers and then take those answers and discuss those answers pick them apart even doing that in class so you're kind of like accepted that you know ChatGPT is here it's not going away and it probably won't in fact I guarantee it won't so you just have to you know move with the times so that's just one example other professors are redesigning their courses to include things like more oral exams so instead of just you know again doing your homework at home you're going to be doing a lot of uh oral exams so you have to really explain your reasoning which really is kind of what you know school's all about it's not about getting the right answer it's about your reasoning it's explaining yourself also professors are looking at doing more group work and handwritten assessments I'm assuming those are going to be in class a lot of them and yeah writing first drafts in class like I mentioned there's a lot of different things in the in the pipeline that you can expect as a student the days of basically the days of take home exams and take home assignments are probably going the way of the dodo so don't expect too much of that in the future that said you're a student what are you experience if you are a student what do you experience on campus right now or in school or high school if you're at high school what are they doing to you know to combat academic playdreams if you're if you're a professor or a teacher or a dean or anything like that a principal how are you handling it some universities and colleges and high schools are are banning it on campus but that's not going to work because you can always just set up a high a hotspot on your iphone and get right around it so again interesting your comments academic academia is changing the way people are graded the expectations is all changing let me know your thoughts in the comments below thanks for watching be back soon
