What is Chat GPT?
ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot developed by OpenAI. It is capable of generating speeches, songs, marketing copy, news articles and student essays or human-like text based on the input it is given. The new artificial intelligence (Al) system, known as a large language model (LLM) is designed to generate human-like writing by predicting upcoming word sequences.
AI-powered tools like Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri have been around for a while, but ChatGPT is by far the most impressive. OpenAI’s chatbot allows users to type questions in English and receive conversational responses in seconds.
Admit cards-
The admit card for the exams also has a cautionary instruction saying, “You should not indulge in any unfair practice. If found, you will be booked under Unfair Means (UFM) Activity and action will be taken as per the rules of the board.”
‘Trust your own hard work’-
Sharma asked students to give the exam with full faith and concentration. “First read the questions carefully, and then answer all of them. Trust your own hard work. You will definitely get success. He also urged all the parents not to put pressure on their children for the examination. Maintain a happy environment”.
CBSE prohibits use of Chat GPT-
CBSE has stated that the use of AI-powered ChatGPT during the current board exams is strictly prohibited, and students who are caught using the platform will face consequences. Students and other users can use the viral chatbot to get answers to complex questions in seconds. The AI-powered ChatGPT can also solve maths problems.
This is not the first time that ChatGPT has caused concern among educational authorities. According to some reports, students are already using ChatGPT to complete their homework.
