Challenges

Challenges

  • Inaccuracy: Data currently only available through 2022 for ChatGPT based tools.

  • Unreliable References: Can generate authors or papers that do not exist. 

  • Safety and Legal Concerns: Entering private information means that the tools will retain that info for future searches.

  • Training Bias:

G - Generative 

P - Pre-trained, who is doing the training? When has it been updated? 

T - Transformer

  • Professionalism: A number of scientific journals, including Science, have already banned the use of AI-generated text within scientific articles.

  • Deep Learning: Excessive dependence on ChatGPT can lead to students relying on it for answers without truly understanding the material.

 

General Rule: If you’d be uncomfortable discussing the use of the tool with us for your research work, then you shouldn’t be using it.
