OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has a list of activities that are banned, with the risk of termination of a user’s account if the company discovers banned activity. Within these banned activities, OpenAI specifically prohibits academic dishonesty. The regulation instructs its users not to misinform, misrepresent, or mislead others.
Tracing ChatGPT back to its conception, the core of the programming was always the Language Learning Model. By being able to access and compress a large number of data points into a uniquely generated output mimicking speech patterns, chatbots seem to be a supreme combination of search engines and research tools.
Behavior modification is a simple concept with complex implications. Simply put, behavior modification “conditions” the participant to engage or cease a behavior through “learning.” The premise of changing behavior is easily understood when the participant consents.
The nuance between different subsets of AI is important when considering its implications. Just as important as it is to know what AI can do, it is equally important to recognize how AI has its risks.
