    • Limitations of ChatGPT

    • Inaccuracies generated by Large Language Models like ChatGPT

      This link shows the inaccuracies generated by ChatGPT in different contexts of:

          • Counting
          • Arithmetic in the context of simple word problem
          • Chronology in the context of a story
          • Reasoning about the Physical World
          •  Rewriting history
          • Bias
    • Indicators and Ways to Identify Undisclosed Use of AI
    • Check the References- At this stage, Chat GPT makes up (also known as hallucinates) references.  The references don't exist and the links themselves appear to be cobbled together or the linked articles are irrelevant.  

      Fact Check- Open AI sometimes creates output that is factually incorrect. Statistics may seem plausible but once checked are in fact made up. 

      This will change as the area develops and improves...

    • Quiz Guidelines in light of AI Technologies
        • All quizzes, particularly if they are carried out online should be amended so that they are not too general or easy to cheat using Google or generative AI tools.   
        • Questions should apply theory, frameworks etc. to case studies and other real world graphical and imaged-based materials.  Ideally, case studies should be clearly viewable images rather than text so that they are less likely to be fed into an AI tool. 
        • Quiz questions should also be applied to specific real-world scenarios.  
        • Quizzes should have a shortened time constraint (e.g. 1 hour rather than one week) and should draw from a question bank and/or be shuffled in order. 
        • The consistency of topics per student should be fair.  
        • Care should be taken to ensure the questions still align with the unit  learning outcomes.
