Devise a physical problem that can be tested, have everyone in class pull a ChatGPT answer to it, have them read the answers out loud and vote on which one is right, then apply it to the physical version and see it fail. Show them how tweaking the answer just a bit solves the problem.
Ta-da! Just taught them that without all your years.
Then you're not a teacher. Please don't ever teach small children.
Well, I suppose the education system gets the teachers it pays for...
Maybe. I like coming up with ways to explain things, but I don't like children, so unless they pay me to host a YouTube channel... tough luck.
And you think that teaching kids to use ChatGPT to figure out how to fix a broken fence gate, rather than, I dunno, teaching them Woodshop, is a good use of teachers' time?
Which one do you think they're more likely to have 24/7 in their pocket: an AI assistant on a smartphone, or a chisel?
Even today, the number of people with a multi-tool or a screwdriver, are much fewer than those with a smartphone. Show them a flint and striker, and they look at you like some doomsday prepper nutjob.
