How Chat GPT Can Transform Autodidactic Experiences and Open Education?

Open access
Firat, Mehmet·2023

Abstract

Chat GPT, powered by the advanced GPT-3 language model from OpenAI, has reached 1 million users only in 5 days. Facebook, Netflix, Instagram, and Twitter could reach this number in 300, 1200, 75, and 720 days. With 175 billion parameters, GPT-3 can generate writing that closely resembles human language. Chat GPT can engage in multiple ongoing conversations, understand and respond to natural language input, and offer customized and interactive assistance. This makes Chat GPT a promising tool for open education, as it can improve the independence and autonomy of autodidactic learners, while also being both practical and adaptable. By providing personalized support, direction, and feedback, Chat GPT has the potential to increase motivation and engagement among autodidactic learners.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
