AI Hustle: News on Open AI, ChatGPT, Midjourney, NVIDIA, Anthropic, Open Source LLMs: Unlocking the Power of Custom ChatGPT Prompts for Educators: Insights and Use Cases from OpenAI

Welcome to the OpenAI podcast, the podcast that opens up the world of AI in a quick and

concise manner.

Tune in daily to hear the latest news and breakthroughs in the rapidly evolving world

of artificial intelligence.

If you've been following the podcast for a while, you'll know that over the last six

months I've been working on a stealth AI startup.

Of the hundreds of projects I've covered, this is the one that I believe has the greatest

potential, so today I'm excited to announce AIBOX.

AIBOX is a no-code AI app building platform paired with the App Store for AI that lets

you monetize your AI tools.

The platform lets you build apps by linking together AI models like chatGPT, mid-journey,

and 11Labs.

Eventually, we'll integrate with software like Gmail, Trello, and Salesforce so you

can use AI to automate every function in your organization.

To get notified when we launch and be one of the first to build on the platform, you

can join the wait list at AIBOX.AI, the link is in the show notes.

We are currently raising a seed round of funding.

If you're an investor that is focused on disruptive tech, I'd love to tell you more

about the platform.

You can reach out to me at jaden at AIBOX.AI, I'll leave that email in the show notes.

So the big headline here is that OpenAI angles to essentially put chatGPT in classrooms with

special tutor prompts.

Now, this is very interesting because essentially what they're trying to do is they believe

that chatGPT is a very viable tool for educational settings, even though the platform's potential

for misuse can't, I think, be overlooked, but the AI company has rolled out several

recommendations to help educators harness the capabilities of chatGPT, which is kind

of moving beyond its common use as a research assistant for students looking to cut quarters.

So the technology has come under scrutiny for enabling academic misconduct, particularly

plagiarism, right?

Now, a lot of people are worried like, oh, kids got to write an essay, it just gets

chatGPT to write it, then he's never going to learn how to write essays, this is the

big concern that a lot of people have.

Educators globally have found or suspected instances where students use chatGPT for tasks

ranging from essay writing to take home quizzes.

And the repercussions of this are, you know, kind of open to interpretation.

Some view it as cheating, some as creative use of resources, but there's no divide in

denying that it really does disrupt the traditional education setting.

I for one think it's kind of like a calculator, and at some point, everyone's going to have

it.

And so you might as well kind of like a calculator learn when it's appropriate to use and not

use, but it should just be integrated into every sort of educational setting, because

this is something that when people have jobs and have a professional career, they're definitely

going to be using, and now is probably the best time to figure that out.

So that's my opinion, but I know everyone's got different views on this.

So in any case, seeking to kind of rehabilitate chatGPT's image in education circles, OpenAI

suggests a variety of ways the tool could be constructively employed in the classroom.

So for instance, the platform could serve as a valuable resource for English language

learners, helping them with translation and correct language use.

While the AI's accuracy in factual content may be debatable, it does produce grammatically

correct outputs, making it useful for both young students and adults.

Experts cited by OpenAI propose that chatGPT could also be instrumental in creating new

test questions or even simulating a job interview scenario.

But perhaps I think one of the most interesting recommendations comes from Gretha Venugopal

in Chennai, India, and she advises that chatGPT can be used to teach students about the fallibility

of computer generated information.

So Venugopal encourages students to critically evaluate the answers they receive from chatGPT

and to collaborate them with primary resources, aiming to help students, quote, understand

the importance of constantly working on their original critical thinking, problem solving,

and creativity skills.

So a prevalent question that I think often arises is kind of the issue of detecting AI-generated

content in student submission.

So OpenAI is quite straightforward in stating that current AI detectors are not reliable

in distinguishing between human-generated and AI-generated content.

The company advises educators to be cautious when relying solely on technology solutions

to identify plagiarism or other types of academic misconduct.

And the thing that I think is really interesting to note with that is that shortly after chatGPT

came out, OpenAI actually came out with an AI detection tool to write, so this is the

company that's creating the AI content and now they've come up with a tool to detect it.

And they found that it was only accurate like 60% of the time, which to be honest is hardly

more than a, you know, a flip of a coin.

And so at that point, they actually have discontinued since that tool and it's no longer a tool.

So I think the fact that OpenAI can't even detect if something is AI-written or not really

gives a lot of credence to the fact that we may need to find other solutions because eventually

I think inevitably this is going to be very, very difficult to detect this stuff.

Kids could even take something generated by OpenAI, run it through a text spinner so that

you essentially can't detect anything, any like secret codes or algorithms that an AI

generator put in there.

A text spinner just takes the original text, swaps out a few words.

But I was doing this a long time ago to avoid AI detection back when I thought that it mattered

for Google and SEO and articles, but I think Google doesn't care about that anymore.

So in any case, I think it's going to be very, very difficult if that is what people are

kind of relying on to detect.

I think it's going to pretty much come with a fundamental shift where we may just have

to accept AI-generated content, but maybe want to look at the way that students develop

that article and maybe make them show the prompts they used and how much they actually

worked on it versus how much just the AI generated everything for them.

So overall, I think it's really going to come down to a big shift in how we look at this

and how we really work with AI, but I think it's going to completely change a lot of things.

So instead of just trying to focus on using this kind of technology to catch AI-generated

content, OpenAI actually advocates for a more comprehensive approach.

So students should be required to show their work and drafts, including their interactions

with AI to demonstrate a genuine engagement with the learning process.

That's OpenAI's idea, like I mentioned before, and OpenAI even provides educators with various

prompts designed to place chat GPT in the role of a tutor or instructional coach.

So OpenAI is literally generating prompts, giving these to educators.

They're telling them frameworks to use.

They're telling them the best ways to use chat GPT in education.

And I think it's really interesting because chat GPT and similar AI agents are really

kind of poised to become integral components in the future of education.

And while the risk of misuse remains definitely a concern for many, I think it's a challenge

that is not unique to this technological era.

Students and educators alike are going to need to adapt and learn how to integrate these tools

effectively, much like the previous generation did with calculators and early digital resources.

The last thing I want to bring up is something I mentioned at the beginning, which is the

fact that, of course, Khan Academy has invested quite heavily and has added some of their own

secret sauce and built a really great education tool and resource with their Khan Mego.

But it is interesting that it would appear at OpenAI is going and straight to educators,

giving them specific prompts to use to help chat GPT be a tutor, giving them specific

frameworks and ideas on how to use this, which I'm sure to Khan Academy could feel like a

circumnavigation of these tools they've developed.

But I think at the end of the day, I don't think this is a big issue.

Khan Academy has spent a lot of time building a lot of really impressive resources that

integrate with, you know, educational lessons that are that integrate with a lot of different

platforms and tools and software.

And I think at the end of the day, what people are going to get out of Khan Mego or Khan

Academy is so much more powerful than just, you know, simply using chat GPT and telling

it to be your tutor that I think there's a lot of value there.

But it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out and to see, you know, where

a lot of the money spent goes in education, if it goes straight to OpenAI, or if it starts

going to these third party softwares like Khan Academy or others.
