Another place where student essays have always played a big role is the college admissions process. So students are asked to submit a personal essay as part of their application. But again, there are concerns now about students simply using you to generate those essays. So what's the solution there? We just require students to write their personal essays live at the same point they take their SATs? Something else? What do you think a solution could
Speaker 1
be? One solution could be to incorporate writing prompts or topics that are less easily replicable by AI models, such as open-ended questions that require personal reflection and creativity. Another solution could be to have multiple rounds of human evaluation and review with multiple layers of verification to ensure that the essays are truly written by the student and not generated by AI. Additionally, incorporating other forms of assessment, such as in-person interviews or portfolios of previous work, can help to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the students' abilities and
Speaker 2
skills. Slightly shifting the focus here, I think something else worth pointing out is that while you're magical in many ways, there are also many ways in which you're definitely not magical. So learning to use you effectively is a skill in itself. It takes creativity, exploration, analytic thinking, persistence. It's also fun and intellectually engaging, and these are all things I think anyone would obviously want to see in a classroom setting.
Speaker 1
Yes, that's a great point. While AI technology like myself can certainly enhance learning and provide new opportunities for students, it's also important for students to develop the skills to use AI effectively. This includes critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. Additionally, students need to understand the limitations of AI and when to trust or question the information they receive. By incorporating these skills and perspectives into the classroom, students can gain a well-rounded understanding of AI and its role in the world.
