Education

2. Is Chat GPT
the end of
thinking skills?

3. Calculator Impact
For the old generation of students, it
was a matter of pride to be able to
orate number tables from 1 to 20.
With the invention of calculators, the
need for memorizing tables
diminished.
3

4. Internet Impact
Then came the disruption called Google
Search and the era of the internet.
This revolution was scarier than that of the
calculator.
It was worried that this search engine
would significantly dent students’ reading
and learning habits for some duration, and
that happened too.
Book sales were reduced, and bookstores
worldwide shut down in big numbers.
However, with the internet revolution
spreading like fire, society evolved into
innovative reading solutions like
smartphones, kindle etc.

5. Impact of
Chat GPT in
Our Education System

6. Personalized
Learning
Students can get
personalized & real-time
tutoring which can make
them understand complex
concepts better and improve
their grades.

7. Reducing the Workload
Teachers can use Chat GPT to
generate teaching learning content,
such as lesson plans and
assignments, based on specific
learning objectives.
This shall result in less workload for
teachers and create spare time for
them to interact more with their
students.

8. Lost the ability to
think outside the box
If students become overly
reliant on Chat GPT, their
independent critical thinking
and problem-solving skills
may deteriorate.
Over time, students may lose
the ability to think outside
the box and generate original
ideas.

9. Eroding
Empathy
Since human emotions do not
play any role in working Chat
GPT, complex problems
involving human beings might
get dis-compassionate
solutions.
Thus eroding empathy and
disturbing human relations.
9

10. Authenticity is a
Question Mark
Not everything which Chat GPT
answers would be authentic.
This may result in students
accepting inaccurate outputs as
a basis for making decisions.
This could have negative
consequences for their
education and future careers.

11. Security Risk

12. Diluting Human
Intelligence

13. Don’t Ban ChatGPT in Schools.
Teach With It.
OpenAI’s new chatbot is raising fears of
cheating on homework,
but its potential as an educational tool
outweighs its risks.

14. The Pros of
Using
Chat GPT
for
Education
14

15. Fast and Effective
As the student sets up
their issue, Chat GPT
walks them through the
process and answers
questions.
Moreover, Chat GPT can
assemble all the
information enhancing
problem-solving skills,
and sparing the student
from having to do
additional research.
15

16. Usage is Simple
You may start
using the user
interface straight
away because it is
designed to be
very basic and
intuitive.
Writing essays
and other text-
based things will
become super
easy for the
children.
16

17. Convenient
For students who
might not have
access to a tutor or
teacher, ChatGPT is
a practical tool
because it can be
accessed from
anywhere with an
internet connection.
The chatbot is also
accessible on a
phone or tablet.
17

18. Saves Time
You don’t have to
read the entire text
because Chat GPT
automatically
summarizes it.
You may then
devote more time
to other important
tasks like browsing
or even finishing
your homework.
18

19. Provides Feedback
Another benefit is that
Chat Talk provides
comments on your
writing as you go.
This is helpful while
developing new writing
skills, thus enhancing
your learning
experience.
19

20. The Cons of Using Chat GPT for Kids Education
20

21. Lack of Human Interaction
While ChatGPT can carry on a
conversation and provide
information, it is unable to
communicate with students in
real time or offer tailored
comments.
This might restrict the learning
process and make it challenging
for pupils to comprehend an
idea in its entirety or to ask for
clarification.
21

22. Technology Dependent
ChatGPT depends on technology to operate, thus there is a
chance that it won’t always be accessible at all times.
22

23. Limited Information
ChatGPT has limited
knowledge because it can only
know what it has been taught.
It might not be able to give a
thorough understanding of a
subject or have access to the
most recent facts
23

24. No Room for Creativity
With tailor-made answers
available to kids at their
fingertips, kids will not
aim at creating something
of their own. They would
rather type the query, and
copy paste the solution to
complete the task. 24

25. End of Thinking Skills
Students that rely too
heavily on Chat GPT may
lose interest in learning
independently, which may
eventually lead to a
decline in human
intelligence.

using Chat GPT
as a student
37

38. Do’s of using
Chat GPT as a
student include:
Use of Chat GPT for assisting your studies
Use
Provide clear and easy-to-understand prompts to Chat
GPT
Provide
Use more follow-up questions to get a response or refine
the response you need for the academic purpose
Use
You can use chat GPT to generate responses in the form
of a summary or a bulleted list as per your convenience

Always recheck information obtained from Chat GPT as
well as ensure a fact check whenever you are relying on
the tool for a factual response
Recheck

Rely on
38

39. Don’t to keep in
mind while using
Chat GPT as a
student include:
Do not use Chat GPT to write your answers or assignments but
only to get ideas for the same
Do not rely solely on Chat GPT to give you factual information
as it has been found to produce inaccurate facts and incoherent
information sometimes
Do not rely solely on Chat GPT for language correction (eg.
Spelling and grammar checks) as it can occasionally create
linguistically incoherent sentences or commit grammatical
errors
Do not use Chat GPT to write answers for examinations as it is
not fully plagiarism–proof
Do not become over-dependent on Chat GPT as despite being a
powerful AI tool, it has its own limitations. Moreover, excessive
reliance on the tool can turn into an addictive dependence and
hinder your creativity as a student towards your academic
ventures.

40. Conclusion
In conclusion, the impact of Chat GPT on
the future of education remains a
disturbing concern. Especially the
thinking skills would be the early victim.
At this stage, it may not be feasible to
predict exact future complications.
However, one thing is sure Chat GPT is
not the end of such disrupting
technological inventions!
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI),
Explainable AI (XAI), Deep Reinforcement
Learning (DRL), Transfer Learning etc.,
are even much more advanced
technologies likely to hit us very soon.
