An AI chatbot that can pump out essays, summaries, and short stories is banned in WA's public schools ahead of the start of the school year.

She said teachers generally know their students well enough to spot cheating and plagiarism in homework."In order to teach, we need to know what that student's mastered, what the gaps in their learning are and that fundamentally prompts the next teaching step."

with some finding it helpful to understand a topic and get started on an assessment, while others were concerned the tool undermines integrityListenWhat is ChatGPT and can it write a Sammy J song better than Sammy J? "A lot of the work is done in class, and of course students won't be able to access ChatGPT," she said.

There goes my job application at NASA.

Resistance is futile.

The problem won't go away.

The whole school system needs an overhaul The only thing that's true is 1+ 1 = 2

As traditional education systems become obsolete it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.

There's more to Education then Education. Personal Characteristics... Integrity... Discipline... Honesty... etc. Anyone with a Teachers Degree would know this and if they dont, what the hell have they been doing these past 20 years? Public School -rolls eyes-

This reminds me of my high school maths teachers in the 90’s saying I won’t be carry a calculator with me so therefore long division was so important. That didn’t age well…

A revolutionary educational tool. WA schools 'Ban it!'

It’s easily detectable, plagiarism is always around but the issue is enforcing the penalties..

should be banned across Australia, cheating is not the way

Did you use a computer to write this news story abc, yes you cheated

Another thing forbidden by WA. If we had to make a list, it would cover the Nullarbor... 😂 WA, what a pathetic bunch....

Well I am glad they have taken this step. It's not like they can access it on their own devices at home right. Right?

This decision will age terribly

That is a terrible approach to a new technology that can help in learning. Schools and universities need to adapt to this not ban it

I am sure that this was the same rhetoric when the pocket calculator was introduced. Educators need to pivot quickly to capitalise on AI tools and not keep their feet planted in the past.

School needs to keep up.

Haven't seen a knee jerk like this since Elaine danced.
