ChatGPT

What is it? Why is it useful?

We asked the ChatGPT chatbot to describe itself by entering the prompt “I want you to act as an educational content creator. You will need to create engaging content for an online course and toolbox on the topic of AI in education. My first suggestion request is ‘Write a description of ChatGPT for adult educators with a maximum of 120 words.'”. Here’s the the chatbot’s answer:

ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. It is capable of understanding and responding to natural language inputs, making it a useful tool for adult education. With ChatGPT, educators can create engaging, interactive content for online courses and toolboxes on a variety of topics, including AI in education. The model can generate human-like text, answer questions, and even carry out conversation, allowing educators to create interactive learning experiences that can keep adult learners engaged and motivated. Additionally, ChatGPT can be fine-tuned to specific domains, making it an even more powerful tool for adult education.
