  1. I'm 70. Started to learn physics and mathematics. Chatgpt really helps. You can argue, no emotional responses. I am not asking to solve maths or physics problems but to check my answers, and if it is
    wrong, it can then pinpoint where i get wrong.

  2. In my opinion the most effective training is in stores in groups of up to 10 people. where in addition to training there will be socialization of children. plus to this, children who do not have time in this small group can ask for help from classmates, they will be able to explain the material to them in the same simplified words as in the gpt chat. but only in addition to this, the student himself will remember the material better in the process of explanation. In addition, social connections will be established between these students (weak and strong), which most likely would not have existed outside of academic topics.

  3. I like these ideas. But, give teachers more time and school boards or governments will give them more students to cut costs, thus some teachers will lose their jobs if 7 teachers are enough and they are paying for 10.

  4. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic are the three fundamentals of education. Of course, most everyone watching this does not know what that means because it doesn't mean voice, typing, and entering the equation into a device to give them an answer. I'm retiring so fire away. By the way, I'm the Technology Coordinator at a public school. I know AI will take over the world sooner than later, and I am NOT opposed to it, but don't want to be involved in the forefront of the AI war. Anybody not scared should be but I'll be fishing and hunting with very little to worry about except my beautiful wife and dog beside me. Have fun with the robots that replace us. Just saying 1984 style.

  5. As educators, leveraging AI like ChatGPT can truly transform the learning experience, from creating interactive lesson plans to personalized learning paths. If you're looking to maximize its potential in your educational journey, I’ve created an in-depth Udemy course, 'ChatGPT PhD' (Nicolás Halaban), where I guide you step by step on how to use ChatGPT effectively for education. It’s designed to help you unlock AI’s full power and redefine the way we teach and learn.

  6. I don't think it's a great idea to focus too much on AI right now. between the outrageous cost in both energy and dollars and the diminishing returns from exponentially larger data sets I'm not sure we're going to see a reliable, fit-for-purpose neural net AI solution for quite some time, if ever

  7. The idea of using AI to differentiate reading materials for students of different levels is a really good one. It's those little extra steps that can sometimes slip away from teachers who already have so much on their plate.
