Here’s a piece I wrote in my school’s magazine about ChapGPT.

These days, technology plays a very important role in our education. One way technology is helping students is through generative Artificial Intelligence. Currently, ChatGPT is one of the most developed AI chatbots, which is changing the way education works. ChatGPT can benefit students in various ways, including by providing constant advice and instruction, targeted recommendations based on personal learning patterns, and offering many resources. ChatGPT can respond to students using a positive, empathetic tone, which can help the student feel more confident and comfortable asking questions. Also, having personalized feedback can make students feel supported. ChatGPT can break down larger and more complex problems into smaller tasks which can help students feel like they can complete the assignment, making them less likely to cheat. ChatGPT can assist students with creating a healthy, productive, and personalized study schedule, as well as being able to provide time management tips. ChatGPT can also provide students with various types of resources to prepare for an exam, including building practice tests, providing educational videos, and creating study guides. This can help students feel less overwhelmed before a big exam and get practice in different forms.
