Dilemma Artificial Intelligence poses in academia, workplace

It marks one year since the wide use ascension of generative pre-trained transformer large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence. The drama surrounding LLM AI leader OpenAI, the owner of the most used site ChatGPT and the firing, resigning, and re-hiring of its executive leadership team gives us an opportunity to examine how the technology has proliferated in our lives.

Initial use of LLM AI alarmed academics and fears of unfair advantage for use of artificial intelligence. But much like in today’s world how every student utilises a calculator for mathematical computations, now near unanimous use of LLM AI by university students eliminates the argument of unfair advantage. Instead, it raises questions around whether real learning outcomes and original output takes place.
