Episode 25: ChatGPT Part Two
Description
We brought in reinforcements for our battle with the bots: Jack Lynch, science teacher at Christ School, joins us to continue our conversation about ChatGPT. Jack begins by explaining what exactly sets ChatGPT apart from other iterations of artificial intelligence (6:20 ), and then talks about why he is optimistic about it, both in the classroom and for society in general (11:55 ). It turns out some of our fears regarding ChatGPT *might* have been overstated. As Jack explains, this technology may eliminate paperwork and drudgery and let people spend more time doing meaningful, enjoyable work (26:00 ). Jack wraps up our conversation by re-stating a point we hit on in the first episode: this is forcing teachers to re-evaluate how they evaluate their students (31:30 ). We get a funny story from Jack getting called out by a student using ChatGPT, and then Joe gives Jameel an animal trivia question.
