I fucking hate ChatGPT and ai and all of that shit
I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI. It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.
Hey I’m an educator and I found a way to trick the chatgpt so students can’t use it.
I have two methods I employ.
Method 1.
I use examples of people in my questions and the people are characters from popular TV shows. Like star trek. You could also use names of athletes or anyone that likely has a lot of content on them in media and internet.
For example : Spock and Uhura both were given an image of a dress to determine if it matched the dress of the missing scientist. Spock perceived the colors to match and Uhura did not. What would explain this difference in color perception?
The answer would be color constancy (I’m a perception researcher and educator).
Anywho if they copy paste , they are likely to get replies based on episodes of star trek tng.
The other thing I do I’m conjunction with the first is make it so that the resources I give them are easier and less work to use than dealing with the chatgpt answers that would require a lot of additional edits of the text to finally get the correct answer. And may not ever give the correct answer.
If they have a resource like a PDF of the PowerPoint lecture, they will use it instead if it’s easier to use.
So make it the easier choice.
Don’t even wanna ask if this is right b/c it’d mean sloppin’ at the trough when you’re a little OVER THAT
This random web-enabled model, not GPT, started with constancy.
That’s fair. I would probably leave off the last part in the questio about color perception difference and say instead.
“Why would Uhura and Spock disagree on this?”
I could definitely test run the questions a bit before using them again.
They worked a year and a half ago when I first made them. But LLMs are getting better.
Tweak them to make sure they are more fool proof.
I still think it’s a reasonable approach. But it does need testing.
