ChatGPT4.0 is released!
It has been greatly upgraded on the basis of the previous sensational world version. According to the official introduction, its input can be text (up to 25,000 characters) or images. It is a super-large multi-modal model.
More and more people are starting to wonder what this thing can be used for? What impact will it have on our future?
Everyone who is concerned about studying abroad should be concerned about these issues:
What can we do with ChatGPT?
Can ChatGPT be used to modify study abroad documents?
Even, can ChatGPT replace the study abroad agency, and do I still need to spend money to find an agency for help?
First, as an artificial intelligence language model, ChatGPT can provide a large amount of knowledge content query, and it can indeed take on the role that makes many people anxious;
Second, it can write some basic text content, and can respond to human questions and give certain answers;
Third, it is an artificial intelligence that is still learning.
Ask it some conceptual things, such as asking it, "What is leadership", "What is the leadership that high school students need to have?" Such conceptual questions, it can quickly answer .
However, although ChatGPT can give certain suggestions, many of the information at this stage are wrong and even need to be corrected. For example, if you ask in-depth statistics, such as the latest Harvard University admissions, its suggestions are time-limited .
It may even be useless. You need to provide more detailed questioning conditions. Maybe in the end, you still need to find data sources and compare information by yourself, or seek help from professionals in the professional field to obtain first-hand information.
For the latest upgraded version 4.0, OpenAI officially stated that after the upgrade, GPT-4 performs at the same level as humans in various occupational and academic examinations. For example, in the simulated bar exam, GPT-4 achieved good results in the top 10%, compared with the bottom 10% of GPT-3.5. For the SAT test questions of the US college entrance examination, GPT-4 also scored a high score of 710 in reading and writing, and 700 in mathematics (out of 800). It also has some new abilities, such as the ability to view pictures.
It's just that although these abilities have been greatly upgraded, the nonsense problems that appeared before still exist . In terms of objective information, the ChatGPT model is still immature at this stage.
Can ChatGPT be used to write essays for studying abroad?
Although ChatGPT can write some documents and short stories, the logic of the story may be smooth, but it still gives people a sense of facial makeup.
Trying to get it to write a document:
Jack from Africa grew up in a poor family, and people around him suffered from long-term illnesses due to the Ebola virus; Jack was determined to pursue medicine since he was a child; but he was also interested in business majors; Determined to apply to Harvard University.
The feedback given by ChatGPT is that the logic is smooth, the story can be justified, and the closed loop is completed. It will give Jack some logical settings, such as being born in a "small village". But its disadvantage is that it can only be expanded, but it can't make people deeply impressed by the details of the story. For example, the people around you have been ill for a long time and did not give more detailed descriptions . What is it that makes you sick? What is the state of illness like? How did Jack feel about it? Just like a green leaf has only green leaves, without veins and flesh and blood.
It can provide a more objective data that can be found, but it can't do some points that require human judgment, because it doesn't have the line of "sensibility". Because there is no sense of "humanity", it is impossible to really impress people. Jack's heartfelt desire to "become a doctor" cannot be felt by the admissions officer.
When admissions officers read student essays, they need to experience some very emotional things, which are based on some very detailed and subjective judgments. Human beings are creatures that rely on intuition. When the university admissions officer sees this essay, he will not admit this student! Unfortunately, the ChatGPT-Jack chapter has a high probability of losing.
For students who want to apply to the top 30 schools, ChatGPT at this stage can only help him with paperwork. A student who can apply to a top prestigious school must have his own advantages. He may use tools to explore the boundaries of information and complete some modifications to the grammatical structure, but he may not necessarily rely on ChatGPT to do something.
The beauty application is very complicated, it is jointly shaped by social culture and historical development, and it is a crystallization of human education in modern times. In addition to the standardized results, you will also see documents, activities, etc. It examines the overall performance of the students themselves. If a document is too facial, the student itself will not be remembered by the admissions officer . Document creation is not something that can be solved with just one tool.
For overseas study applications, a possible development trend is that when this natural language understanding and artificial intelligence dialogue form (such as ChatGPT) becomes more and more mature, text itself may be iterated as a document carrier, such as using all Automated machine interviews, or use video to conduct interviews. The reason why documents are still used now is that reviewing documents is faster than video review, and can process a large number of documents in a short time. If the language of the video is directly converted into text, after some preliminary analysis and screening, it will be given to the admissions officer. See, will be able to improve greater efficiency.
Can ChatGPT replace overseas education institutions?
Although the development speed of ChatGPT is very fast, due to social conditions and the restrictive thinking of human beings, the time for the large-scale promotion and application of ChatGPT in the civilian market is to be determined. Before that, we may have to explore and solve more problems, such as a comprehensive understanding of its negative effects, and research on alternatives to the unemployment rate to delay the negative problems arising from AI iterations.
For ChatGPT, various universities and educational organizations have also given some feedback:
For example, the University of Hong Kong announced the ban, and the New York Public Schools also issued a statement saying, "While this tool may provide quick and easy answers to questions, it is not conducive to developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are critical to academic and lifelong success. It is very important." When ChatGPT was banned in European and American universities, the IBO (International Baccalaureate Organization) allowed IB students to use it to write papers , but IB made it clear that the content quoted from ChatGPT in the paper must be marked Otherwise, it will still be characterized as academic misconduct. The attitudes of all parties are fascinating.
But there is a consensus that there is a general consensus that the ways and means of education in the future need major adjustments . The emergence of ChatGPT can give an opportunity to education reform, and the development of education cannot always be maintained by blocking ChatGPT.
In the future, ChatGPT can be used as an alternative way of information retrieval. When the information of ChatGPT reaches a relatively accurate stage, students can use it to obtain accurate information and get instant results, so as to practice by analogy. ChatGPT can give students and parents some help in terms of information sources, but it cannot replace the timely capture and in-depth exchange of effective information.
Studying abroad education is an educational model. College application requires personalized exploration of students. We need to dig out what students really want in their hearts. Tutors need to listen to students' words and then give practical feedback on the practical level . Help students to really complete the construction of supporting activities, so as to write great essays, and may eventually be admitted to the top school.
To tap the potential of ChatGPT, it depends on the way of use and the purpose of use. When you use ChatGPT, you will find that it can't help but give you suggestions, but at this stage it can't "listen" . To listen to the real needs of human beings, if it gives advice that is not the most needed of our mental and emotional needs, it is of no value .
When technology becomes more and more developed and tools liberate human productivity, how to use artificial intelligence will become a compulsory course for everyone. For example, people who learn to ask questions on ChatGPT earlier will have a greater advantage. You need to know what you want in order to get more accurate information on ChatGPT . Sometimes a way of asking questions does not necessarily get the answer you want, then A different approach is needed.
We are confident that at this stage, it is difficult for ChatGPT to replace overseas education institutions, because tools themselves cannot replace education, and human thought itself is difficult for ChatGPT to surpass. The essence of education is the continuation of life's desire for self-growth. ChatGPT cannot replace life, nor can it replace life to complete transcendence .
Written at the end, facing the iteration of the technological revolution, this time, we still need to face it. Artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT has become a strong support for human beings, and those who learn to use AI will be more adaptable to the future.
