The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and its impact on education has been a topic of growing concern in recent years. The new generation AI systems such as chatbots have become more accessible on the Internet and stronger in terms of capabilities. The use of chatbots, particularly ChatGPT, for generating academic essays at schools and colleges has sparked fears among scholars. This study aims to explore the originality of contents produced by one of the most popular AI chatbots, ChatGPT. To this end, two popular plagiarism detection tools were used to evaluate the originality of 50 essays generated by ChatGPT on various topics. Our results manifest that ChatGPT has a great potential to generate sophisticated text outputs without being well caught by the plagiarism check software. In other words, ChatGPT can create content on many topics with high originality as if they were written by someone. These findings align with the recent concerns about students using chatbots for an easy shortcut to success with minimal or no effort. Moreover, ChatGPT was asked to verify if the essays were generated by itself, as an additional measure of plagiarism check, and it showed superior performance compared to the traditional plagiarism-detection tools. The paper discusses the need for institutions to consider appropriate measures to mitigate potential plagiarism issues and advise on the ongoing debate surrounding the impact of AI technology on education. Further implications are discussed in the paper.
翻译:人工智能(AI)技术的兴起及其对教育的影响近年来日益引起人们的关注。新一代的人工智能系统,如聊天机等,在互联网上越来越容易获得,能力也更强。使用聊天机,特别是聊天机,在中小学和学院里制作学术论文,引起了学者们的恐惧。这项研究的目的是探索最受欢迎的AI聊天机之一,查特格波特所制作的内容的原始性。为此,使用了两个流行的破坏性探测工具来评价查特格伯特所制作的50篇文章的原创性。我们的结果表明,聊天机有很大潜力产生复杂的文本产出,而不受光滑校检查软件的干扰。换句话说,聊天机可以创造许多题目上非常原创性的内容,如同某人所写的一样。这些研究结果与最近对学生使用聊天机为更方便的捷径,以尽量少或不作任何努力的方式成功。此外,查特特特特特公司被要求核实这些论文是否由它自己制作,在传统辩论软件的影响方面产生。测试高端文本的潜力,以研究提高机构的业绩,从而研究如何改进目前的工具。
