• Resumen

  • Will my job be replaced by ChatGPT? Can artificial intelligence (AI) engines do homework for students? How do I know if a delivered assignment was completed by a robot? These and many other questions have been occupying the minds of professionals from different areas, including professors and researchers, especially since ChatGPT was launched in November 2022. This Generative Pretrained Transformer mechanism works through a chat interface that allows establishing conversations based on the targeted processing of a large volume of data, but the inner functioning of ChatGPT still acts as a “black box” for most of us. As physics educators, we are particularly interested in understanding the kind of information it can provide to students, how reliable this information can be, and where it may still fall short. This helps us better understand how we can use it.
