A first rendevous with #chatGPT

Thanks to our inspiring colleague Ken and the ESOL Team at the KSB we had a first meeting aka rendevous with Chat GPT. Is it she or he? Anyway – thx a lot Ken for the short introduction to this fascination and/or scary app.

Now Chat GPT is Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. It is a chatbot, i.e. a robot (programm, application) which can maintain a conversation, i.e. produce language and answer questions.

chatGPT appears to possess an extremely large database (conversational data) and is well-trained. Perhaps the best at the moment!

chatGPT can be used at school by teachers and students for…

  • Correcting texts
  • Produce information
  • Give examples
  • Create exercices
  • Give advice / recommendations
  • Create lessons and training-plans

chatGPT has its limitiations:

  • The data it can handle is fixed and also limited
  • Language process is limited because of accents and mistakes
  • It can’t deal with several questions at the same time and/or conversation that are not linear (when topic goes here and there).
