Since its launch in November of 2022, ChatGPT, a chatbot that can generate entire essays at the click of a button, has been equally worrying and exciting educators across Australia.

ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, is trained on a stack of text data and learns how to predict what word comes next in a sentence. It uses a neural network to help it understand the context of the text in order to generate new text that sounds pretty similar to what it was trained on.

It’s a new field of artificial intelligence known as generative AI, and right now the world is going through a bit of a generative AI boom. Chat GPT, and generative AI, can make aspects of our lives easier, which on one hand is exciting, but also has a few people a little nervous.
