Let’s chat… AI ChatGPT

Did someone say ChatGPT??  I attended the UNC Learning and Technology Symposium last week and one of the session discussed was a very popular topic of discussion in Higher Education.  ChatGPT… I was very intrigued to say the least but I also had my personal opinion as well as Tech opinion about the popular intelligence. Chatbots are not a new technology, but ChatGPT has already impressed many technologists with its ability to mimic human language and speaking styles while also providing coherent and topical information.  Some say ChatGPT is better than Google while others are worried it’ll be problematic.  What are your thoughts?  Any benefits to implementing ChatGPT in our Higher Education environment?  I would love to hear your thoughts.  If you aren’t familiar with ChatGPT, take a look at a few articles below.
