Tweet from OpenAI (@OpenAI)
by Adjoa Linda Fletcher 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

OpenAI (@OpenAI) tweeted at 1:07 PM on Thu, Aug 31, 2023: We’re releasing a guide for teachers using ChatGPT in their classroom — including suggested prompts, an explanation of how ChatGPT works and its limitations, the efficacy of AI detectors, and bias. https://t.co/rVFdEUH6ph (https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1697295029763715166?s=03) Interesting. There were several presentations that mentioned chatgpt at the Singapore Wikimania Conference. While at the conference I ordered a couple of books about Chatgpt and have watched YouTube videos. [still learning] The biggest limitation of chatgpt is a lack of references. Wikipedia is the go- to platform for education. Plus any data search on chatgpt will not go past 2021. Plus Chatgpt has a fee component, and Wikipedia is free. Still learning what the challenges of chatgpt will be for Wikipedia editors. Take care, Linda Fletcher-Dabo
