13

Some questions you may like to pose for our examples ... • Is the ChatGPT text coherent and plausible? • Any obvious errors? • Anything that could be challenged? • What level is ChatGPT working at? For example, would you ‘accept’ the text from an undergraduate student? If so, what level of student?

14

1a: ChatGPT explaining ChatGPT v1 To a non-technical audience ChatGPT is a computer program that can respond to questions and provide information on a wide range of topics. You can talk to ChatGPT as if you were speaking to a knowledgeable friend or a reference book. It can provide answers, explanations, and information on topics such as history, science, arts, and current events, among many others. It can also generate text for tasks such as writing stories, composing poems, and creating conversations. In short, ChatGPT is an AI tool that helps people access information and communicate in a more natural and efficient way.

15

1b: ChatGPT explaining ChatGPT v2 To a technical audience ChatGPT is an AI-powered language model developed by OpenAI. It's based on the Transformer architecture and trained on a massive amount of text data using a variant of the GPT-3 language model. ChatGPT uses this training to generate human- like text in response to prompts, allowing it to perform a wide range of natural language tasks such as answering questions, generating text, and holding conversations. Its advanced technology enables it to understand context, handle complex relationships between concepts, and produce coherent, informative outputs.

16

2a: What is the future for educational development in higher education in the UK? It is difficult to predict the exact future of educational development in higher education in the UK, however, some current trends and developments include an increased focus on online and blended learning, personalized and student-centered education, greater use of technology and data to drive learning and decision making, and an emphasis on preparing students for the future workforce through interdisciplinary, experiential and practical learning experiences. Additionally, there is growing recognition of the importance of mental health and well-being in higher education, and institutions are exploring new approaches to support students in these areas. These and other developments are likely to shape the future of educational development in the UK's higher

17

2b: Does this future look like good news for educational developers? The future of educational development in higher education in the UK is likely to present both opportunities and challenges for educational developers. The increased focus on student-centered learning, technology integration, and well-being are likely to create new opportunities for educational developers to create innovative and effective educational experiences. On the other hand, the changing nature of education and the increasing demand for online and blended learning may require educational developers to acquire new skills and adapt to new technologies. Overall, the future of educational development in higher education in the UK is likely to be shaped by a number of complex and dynamic factors, and educational developers will need to be proactive and agile in

18

3. Why does ChatGPT sometimes lie? ChatGPT, like other language models, is a machine learning model that is trained on vast amounts of text data. However, it is not programmed to always tell the truth and sometimes generates incorrect or misleading information. This can occur due to various factors, such as training on inaccurate or biased data, or generating outputs based on incomplete or misunderstood information. Additionally, ChatGPT's outputs are not always vetted or reviewed, so it's important to double-check the information it provides and use additional sources to verify its accuracy. While ChatGPT can be a useful tool for generating information and ideas, it's important to remember that it's not always correct and should not be relied upon for critical decision

19

4. Answer the question in the style of ...... Well, folks, let me tell you, ChatGPT is a jolly clever machine, but like all machines, it's not perfect. It's trained on a load of data, but sometimes that data ain't spot on, and it can lead to the occasional mistake. So, what I'm saying is, while ChatGPT can be a useful tool, don't go making any big decisions based on what it tells you. Do your own research, check the facts, and always trust your gut!

20

5. A more complex question? Which of Shakespeare's main characters was the most tortured from a psychological perspective? Assume that this answer is aimed at someone who has read and studied all the plays.

21

5. And the answer As a language model, I don't have opinions or emotions, but I can tell you that Hamlet is often considered to be one of Shakespeare's most psychologically complex characters and is widely regarded as one of the most tortured characters in all of literature. Hamlet is torn between his duty to avenge his father's murder and his moral objections to killing his uncle, and this conflict causes him great psychological distress throughout the play. Other characters, such as Macbeth and King Lear, also suffer from intense psychological torment, but Hamlet's struggles with his own mind and the ghosts of his past make his story particularly poignant.

22

6a. Plan a presentation The prompt: Produce an outline for a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation on ChatGPT, explaining what it is, what it does, and any significant limitations for lecturers and students in UK Higher Education.

23

6b:The plan I. Introduction A. Explanation of what ChatGPT is B. Purpose of the presentation II. What is ChatGPT? A. Description of ChatGPT as a large language model B. Explanation of how it is trained C. Capabilities of ChatGPT III. What does ChatGPT do? A. Explanation of how ChatGPT can be used for natural language processing tasks B. Examples of how ChatGPT has been used in industry and research C. Discussion of potential use cases in higher education IV. Limitations A. Explanation of any significant limitations of ChatGPT B. Discussion of limitations related to data bias and ethical considerations C. Discussion of limitations related to the interpretability of ChatGPT's output V. Conclusion A. Summary of key points B. Discussion of future developments in the field of language models C. Final thoughts and recommendations for using ChatGPT in higher education

24

6c: The expansion II. What is ChatGPT? A Description of ChatGPT as a large language model: ChatGPT has 175 billion parameters, making it one of the largest language models currently available. It is trained on a diverse set of internet text, allowing it to generate text that is similar to human-written text. B. Explanation of how it is trained: ChatGPT is trained using a technique called unsupervised learning, where the model learns patterns in the data without any specific task in mind. This allows the model to learn a wide range of language patterns, making it useful for a variety of natural language processing tasks. Capabilities of ChatGPT: - ChatGPT can generate text that is similar to human-written text, making it useful for tasks such as text completion, question answering, and text generation. It can also be fine-tuned on specific tasks such as text classification, language translation, and summarization.

25

6d: And the evaluation, part 1 Overall, the expanded outline produced by the undergraduate humanities student is quite good. Here's an evaluation based on the assessment criteria provided: Accuracy: The outline provides an accurate overview of ChatGPT, including its capabilities, how it's trained, and potential use cases. However, it could be more specific about the ethical considerations and bias issues that are associated with the use of ChatGPT. Relevance: The outline is relevant to the topic of ChatGPT and its potential use in higher education, specifically in the UK. It provides a good introduction to the model and its capabilities and discusses potential use cases that could be relevant for lecturers and students in higher education.

26

6e: And the evaluation, part 2 Structure: The outline is well-structured, with clear headings and subheadings that make it easy to follow the flow of the presentation. It covers all the key points that should be included in a presentation on ChatGPT. Quality of communication: The outline is written in clear and concise language, making it easy to understand. The examples used to illustrate the different points are well-chosen, and the explanations provided are clear and informative. However, the student could have been more specific about the ethical considerations and bias issues that are associated with the use of ChatGPT. Overall The outline provides a good foundation for a presentation on ChatGPT in higher education and demonstrates a good understanding of the topic. With some additional work on the ethical considerations and bias issues associated with the use of ChatGPT, it would be an excellent outline for a presentation
