podcast pt 7

The speaker suggests that education systems can withstand the impact of chatGPT if we focus on what we value in education. They argue that traditional methods like reading textbooks and listening to lectures encourage critical thinking and understanding, while chatGPT promotes copying and pasting. However, the speaker emphasizes that chatGPT's existence doesn't mean it will inevitably take over. They urge us to constantly re-evaluate our goals in education and how new innovations can both threaten and assist us. Ultimately, they warn that if we don't take control, chatGPT will make decisions for us. These systems seem poised to weather the chat storm if we refocus on what we value in education. Reading a textbook and listening to a lecture forces the student to fill in gaps and come up with their own framework for understanding the presented material, rather than copying pasting between the lines. But it's important to note that the existence of chatGT does not spell its inevitability. Right. We need to continue re-evaluating what we hope to gain from education and how new innovations can simultaneously threaten and assist in these endeavors. We have to take control over our decisions and actions, otherwise chatGPT will make the choices for you.
