RE: ChatGPT vs. University Professors -- Not a Fair Fight (Not Even Close)

OpenAI has created this robust tool to help learn and make their own notes for academic purposes. However, some spoiled brats are using it for their own pleasures. I think OpenAI is using tons of books and online resources to create responses to prompts given by users, and its creators know that if they use a copy/paste method, they might get into legal trouble. So, they have created an algorithm that uses online resources but presents them in a way a natural conversation occurs.

You may ask your students to mention references of source and also mention pages numbers or chapter they have used to write the assignment.

You may ask your students to ... mention pages numbers or chapter they have used to write the assignment.

That's a really good idea.

However, when I just now asked ChatGPT to cite sources and include page numbers, it was able to do so for 3/5 of the points it referred to in its original essay.

With that said, if I require page numbers from a specific source, it is doubtful ChatGPT would be able to provide that.

When I asked ChatGPT to provide sources and page numbers for its peer review, it said:

I apologize, but I am unable to provide specific page numbers or sources for Bastiat's views because I am a language model and do not have access to books or other sources of information. I can only provide general summaries of Bastiat's ideas based on my programming and knowledge cutoff. If you would like more specific information about Bastiat's views, I recommend consulting primary sources such as his essays and books, or secondary sources such as academic articles or books about Bastiat's thought.

I also feel that intelligent module has focused on that aspect or depth of information, because it reads our input and search for the best matched online resources that are in text format, spins it like it was told by a human, a close case.

Finding page numbers or chapter names is quite difficult for AI to extract from online resource, as PDF and similar formatted documents do not add page numbers like we see in a book, they separately appear in a navigation panel. Again, webpages also do not have page numbers.

But, I think one day OpenAI would be much smarter than humans, and again we'll have to find new counter measures.

AI helps humans, but it also messes up with the mental ability to think and work smarter.
