What are the expected limitations of [ChatGPT]?

What is "Prompt Engineering"?

[Prompt engineering - Wikipedia]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prompt_engineering )

What lessons about technology reliance could you teach, in regards to Clippy?

- "What is ChatGPT? Wrong answers only"

  - Human_n: EDGES WITH REASONING

- "Tell me IDK ("I don't know") when you don't know"

- "How certain are you that that is the correct answer?"

- "Are static analysis code metrics sufficient for Safety Critical code?"

- "Whose code is this based on?"

- "Where and when did you learn this?"

- "Why would a US President abstain from using ChatGPT or similar to fill speeches 'just like what I said before'?"

#Burgundy

GPT or similar trained on only Formally-Verified code with associated tests

and/or e.g. Lean Mathlib, or e.g. the Principia in SymPy & Cirq; that could probably eliminate my job, but maybe still not teaching

Hi,

a student of mine was aware of this chatbot and asked it about a
class-assignment of his own accord. We program in Java with some extra
homemade library class used by some schools in our region.

The bot came up with a "solution" which was flawed in several respects:
1. It used some other (unimported) classes - solution doesn't work and
doesn't fit the assignment.
2. It put all the code into the constructor, a typical (design and
style) error for students beginning with Java.

When confronted with the problem number one above, it acknowledged the
fault and produced a different unrelated solution.

Sooo....

I was impressed how well the chatbot simulated a typical clueless human
who even thinks he is smart, while his code is basically bullshit.
(Probably a result of googling forums, where other learners posted their
solutions to assignments with the given school library classes.) The bot
clearly passed the Turing test ;-)

But...

I don't think the interaction was helpful for somebody who is learning
to program. It is probably less helpful than conversing with other also
not very knowledgeable students as they are at least reasoning humans.

Talking to the bot might be fun to do in the last lesson before
christmas or so. Entertaining until you realise the software is
"simulating" intelligent conversation - not really talking with insight.
And that could turn out to be a waste of time.

Happy new year
