ChatGPT Challenge! 重學習過程多於結果 Now.com
香港科技大學副教授黃岳永 erwin :「我們更加想知你如何使用(ChatGPT),不是量度結果而是量度過程。將來老實說,電腦1分鐘便可完成,即使我給你30分鐘,你都是1分鐘完成。但當你如果1分鐘便可以找到某些資料,你可否用29分鐘的時間,將這些資料變成一些啟發,做一些更多好的表達方式。圖像、啟發,各樣做得更好,那便把自己的分數、能力、理解更為提升。」
【Now新聞台】人工智能系統ChatGPT應用引起爭議,有大學教授認為學生應善用省卻的時間提升其他能力,老師亦要設計一些ChatGPT不能完成的題目,考核學生真正能力。
到底使用人工智能做功課會有何不同?這一天我們請來兩位大學生,與我們做個實測。Joseph抽中可以使用ChatGPT幫忙,Jimmy就無這機會。他們要用30分鐘設計三堂,每堂一小時的教學策略。
香港科技大學學生Jimmy:「有少許不習慣,因為最近做很多匯報都用ChatGPT。」
香港科技大學學生Joseph:「如果是很科學性的數據,很難一時三刻知道有否錯。」
用ChatGPT的Joseph匯報時文字比較多,亦較為著重格式;而沒有使用的Jimmy,就以圖像解說為主。

洪為民去年加入城市大學出任商學院客座教授,資訊科技界出身的他亦認為未來教學,需要著重學生的創作和理解。
香港城市大學商學院客座教授洪為民:「他有能力不用ChatGPT就做到出來,但當他出去工作,原來ChatGPT已經做到,他便沒有可僱性。老師要想多一點有沒有題目,是ChatGPT做不到。第二,即使做到,有沒有一些能測試學生如何應用?要求是不同了。」
他又建議大學不要禁止學生使用人工智能科技,但要規定如果用了則要標明,方便老師評分時參考。

Interview Reflections: The experiment was fascinating and provided many insights I would not have gleaned otherwise. Upon realizing ChatGPT was unavailable, I felt utterly unfamiliar and strange. Over the past months, I have grown so accustomed to ChatGPT that without it, I feared losing my ability to gather information quickly from other sources like Google, as I have not been practicing as much.
However, I firmly believe artificial intelligence will not replace us but instead enhance the capabilities of those who understand it best. ChatGPT is an incredibly powerful tool, but how it is applied is equally important. Repetitive, mundane tasks and rapid generation of outlines and details benefit from its use. But for creative thinking, human intellect is vital.
The experiment demonstrated that empowering the human user with ChatGPT is more critical than allowing ChatGPT to empower the user. ChatGPT alone often yields mediocre results. But with proper guidance, humans and AI collaborating can achieve superior solutions unobtainable by either alone. ChatGPT may supply a B-level response, but under human direction, together they co-create A+ answers.
In short, the key takeaways were: 1) We quickly become dependent on AI tools like ChatGPT and lose other skills if we do not practice them. 2) Human judgment remains essential for high-quality creative work—AI can only assist, not replace, us. 3) How we apply AI tools like ChatGPT is crucial. They should augment human users, not operate independently. 4) With the proper partnership, people and AI can accomplish more than either alone. But human leadership is the key to success. (This reflection is aided by ChatGPT.)

- Some thoughts:
- Reflecting on the activity: GPT is very efficient in terms of structuring things, e.g. giving a presentation flow, syllabus outline, etc. I used to have GPT summarize articles for me so that I could have a grasp of the ideas quickly. To note, the accuracy of GPT is questionable when tasks are very specific, e.g. "name the art style of Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang" or "provide a criticising argument on the academic paper XXX". GPT would work more on general ideas or facts that are considered "universal knowledge", e.g. "what is quantum physics". Aside from GPT, it is great to have learnt about new AI tools, e.g. Gamma.app, Midjounrney...
- Going forward: The activity of doing a timed research in 30min including output is a very good exercise that sparked me to do the same going forward. In the past week, I listed multiple topic of interest to research on, and I set a 30min period each day for myself to conduct research. This helps with researching my area of interest in an orderly and efficient manner. The help of GPT is also very useful given the time constrain. It helps also with establishing a general idea of the subject - detailed matter maybe not be accurate but it's good enough for this mini "curiosity project".
