A few days ago I had a conversation with a 20-year-old student. He is studying a higher degree in computer science and he told me that he does not like to generate code with gpt chat because the process loses authenticity. He feels that he is cheating, that he is a fraud. My response was for him to cut this nonsense.
The day you go to work at any computer company, they will force you to work with gpt chat (or any other AI) since, in the specific case of computer code generation, the use of this technology automates up to 70% of a job , which until a few months ago was done entirely manually.
The feeling of fraud expressed by the boy is something shared by many other students between the ages of 16 and 25. They see the use of this type of technology as a scam. Something similar happens with their professors, many of whom see generative AI as a trap through which they can be fooled by their students.
It is curious that this feeling of cheating does not appear in other segments, such as workers of productive age, who, to a greater or lesser extent, are clear that we must adapt this technology to our daily tasks. Probably, this sensation of deception will not be experienced by younger students either, since when the time comes for them to use these solutions, they will be much more established and developed.
If you read the previous article, where we analyzed the case of Hypatia, the chatbot with which the Junta de Andalucía intends to combat school failure, will remember that the main threat is the rejection that it may cause in the people in charge of its implementation, something that will inevitably cause a greater or lesser boycott of a technology that is destined to transform the education in a very short time.
Probably this rejection has to do with the irruption that these tools have had, which have emerged overnight without any kind of transition, catching the educational system on the wrong foot. Actually, it goes much further.
The arrival of AI in education is a reality that not only modifies the evaluation systems for work and exams. This revolution directly attacks the waterline of a 19th century learning system.
A new system that is yet to be born, a completely decentralized system that must be shaped by both students and teachers, the further away the politicians stay, the better.
A system equipped with solutions that allow learning processes to be optimized, adapting itineraries and contents to the needs of each student so that they can meet their goals. A system that automates much of the stupid, useless and anachronistic bureaucracy that teachers suffer so much. A system that allows teachers to optimize their work, being more productive and effective with less effort.
