Can artificial intelligence do my homework?

At the end of 2022, the whole world was taken aback by the ChatGPT conversational robot, which was as capable of answering specific questions as it was of imagining scenarios, ideas and so on. The question on everyone's mind was whether the world of education would suffer the consequences of this intelligence. If students use them, will they pass their lessons without having to think or retain anything?

With this in mind, the Brut media asked three teachers (philosophy, history and mathematics) to suggest themes to which the algorithm would respond. They then corrected these papers. So, is ChatGPT a good student? The answer is no. Technically, it doesn't completely suck, but each teacher had his or her own criticisms to make:

• Philosophy: 7/20 because it describes concepts well, but cites no sources, makes no transitions and is far too technical and cold to make a relevant essay.
  
  
• History: 6/20 because, even when asking a precise question, he forgets very important details, and recycles received ideas that are often false, such as the idea that in the Middle Ages people thought the Earth was flat (we've known it's round since Antiquity).
  
  
• Mathematics: 2/9 because, while it reproduces the operations required to answer the question, it does not provide the solution. As a result, a student would still have to make the recipe to get the answer, which is worth more points than the method.

In short, we're a long way from achieving incredible scores with ChatGPT alone. Technology will certainly evolve, but it seems that learners will have no choice but to continue to use their grey matter to learn and pass their assignments.
