As a representative of the new generation of AI technology, ChatGPT is deeply embedded in and affects the daily learning and life scenes of college students. It has brought great breakthroughs in improving the efficiency of learning and research, broadening the cognitive threshold, and reshaping the human-computer interaction mode. It will have a potential impact on the thinking and behavior patterns of college students. These impacts can be explored from three dimensions: individual, relationship and society.
(1) Individual dimension: lack of digital embodiment accelerated thinking
Physical existence does not need to be physically present. Realizing the construction of rules and order between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, the real world and the virtual world in a digitally embodied way is an important reason for the realization of intelligent communication [3]. The interconnection and penetration of smart scenes breaks the relationship between the human body and smart devices, and the body has also transformed into a part of digital existence, as a digital embodiment of digital existence, participating in the interaction and communication of information. At present, the mentality of lying flat is popular among college students in a joking and ridiculing way. The algorithmic society in which lying flat people live is imprinted with traces of data, implying the requirement for efficiency. As the German philosopher Han Bingzhe said, "merit The subject is committed to the constraints of freedom, that is, the pursuit of maximum efficiency and self-exploitation” [4] 85. The logic behind lying flat actually implies a deeper self-requirement for data-based survival. When people's living scenarios depend on digitization, people's cognition, attitude and corresponding behavior will be more dependent on data and data results. The transformation of scenes and spaces is also more dependent on smart devices and infrastructure, and the possibility of intelligent logic replacing individual subjective abilities also follows. Thinking degradation, logical disconnection, and weakening of personality, these possible negative effects lead to the continuous weakening of college students' thinking ability.
Entering the algorithmic society, the footprints of our browsing and clicking on the Internet, the data of games or entertainment, the algorithms all record and predict our lives one by one. Algorithms can not only capture data in real time, but also predict behavior. Our footprints on the Internet are collected, calculated and recommended by algorithms all the time. The interaction and dialogue behavior during the use of ChatGPT, the algorithm can quickly capture and analyze the input and reply content, the recommendation algorithm may recommend similar views, and similar information may further solidify the original values of college students and ignore diversity information.
(2) Relationship dimension: social masking mapping closed circle layer
Digital survival has long been a common sight in daily life, but digitally embodied communication driven by intelligence has brought a new relationship between time and space. First of all, socializing across the air and interacting across screens has become a popular way for young people to socialize. In digital scenarios, the platform algorithm recommendation will make the original broad weak relationship socialization localized, and the intelligent algorithm recommendation mechanism can search social network, track browsing trajectory, capture interest graph and big data portrait. The depiction makes the phenomenon of social circle stratification impossible to ignore. At the level of social interaction, it may be a small circle mapped by big data. A closed social circle is more conducive to the consolidation of social relationships, rather than the expansion of social relationships, and the scope of social interactions may be narrowed.
Secondly, as a chat robot, ChatGPT itself has no emotion, but college students may appear "empathy" in continuous habitual use. Because of ChatGPT's changeable identity, vivid language expression, and the human-like performance shown in the semantic output of knowing and expressing ideas, college students tend to regard ChatGPT as their only trusted virtual partner. In the Internet world, people are connected to each other through nodes, and everyone is a part of the node. They are connected to each other, share in real time, and interact frequently, which greatly breaks the role boundaries of the original individual or organization. The emergence of ChatGPT integrates powerful data scale, unprecedented computing power, deep neural network, machine learning and other algorithm technologies. College students may use it as the only "big node" to connect themselves with the world, such as using ChatGPT Writing homework on behalf of others , resulting in a significant weakening of the frequency and depth of communication in other social networks.
( 3) Social Dimension: Technology Penetration Exacerbates Consensus Crisis
The formation of social consensus is based on the internal conscious identification of the public, and the cultivation and dissemination of public awareness culture is particularly critical. The media has played an important role in the formation of social consensus, and the channels, methods and processes of obtaining information affect the formation of social consensus. In the era of mass communication, Lazarsfeld et al. conducted a survey of voting intentions in the presidential election in Erie County, and proposed the concept of opinion leaders. They believed that opinion leaders are the intermediate link in the two-level dissemination of information. Information passes through opinion leaders and then to general audiences. Mass communication effects have an important impact.
Artificial intelligence technology can transmit information to college students through search engines, social media, recommendation algorithms and other channels. Because of the convenience, diversity and comprehensiveness of information acquisition channels, chatbots represented by ChatGPT may become a new generation of college students under the background of artificial intelligence. Opinion leaders” to further influence and shape the values of college students through recommendation algorithms and personalized services. In terms of social identity, when artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT interacts with college students, it may convey certain values or attitudes, which may be regarded as social identity by college students, and college students may feel that they are different from artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT. Interaction is a form of social proof, and they may be more receptive to these values.
