sure yeah so almost all the students are using ai for everything i would say right they have a nickname for each one of them chat you know for chat gbt i talked to chat today it's pervasive and it's been very interesting to see how students have integrated ai into their learning processes or how they use it for different types of assessment i hadn't taught for a few years and i noticed a big difference in
The way that students were communicating to me via email, a lot more formal and verbose, I think.
And then obviously you see things like the M-dash in there.
And then with assessments, I would say the bottom end, the low end of student performance has gone away.
Because basically students, if they are under time constraints or maybe are juggling a lot of different priorities, they can have AI do the work for them and come up with something pretty good.
Yeah, it can make things very easy.
And I'll also say many of my students were doing separately from in my course, for example, amazing things with AI, like starting businesses and doing things that they would never have been able to do
before AI, but I also know simultaneously that in the classroom, you know, at least some percentage of students are basically using it to do a substantial amount of the work, I would say.
Yeah, so we had participants come into the lab and we also did it online and answer a set of logic and reasoning problems.
It's called the cognitive reflections task.
It's a sort of a well-known psychological task.
I mean, it involves these, like I said, logic and reasoning problems, a little bit of math in them.
And what's key about that task is that there is sort of an initial intuitive answer that pops to mind after you read the question, and that's the wrong answer.
Mm-hmm.
And you have to deliberate a little bit and think a little bit slowly to come up with the right answer.
But all you need to do is read the question, sort of recheck, and you'll know that that first answer is incorrect.
So that's a key characteristic of the task.
And then our experimental group, we basically just said, okay, now you have access to ChatGPT.
Here's a ChatGPT terminal here.
You can use it if you want to, but you don't have to use it, right?
