Recommendation
If you are looking for a useful website to share with your students, consider this one. The language is student-facing, and the use of bulleted lists make it a quick and accessible read.
When viewing the output of a tool such as ChatGPT, Bing chat or Google Bard it is easy to think it has a level of understanding of the subject being written about. You may also think it is synthesising information in a critical way, paraphrasing and summarising content from multiple sources to build an argument, but that isn't the case.
There is great potential to use AI tools to support you throughout your education but we must remember there is a big difference between human and artificial intelligence. There is a limit to what AI tools can do although it is not always clear at first glance. AI tools available to us at this moment do not understand the content they generate or what those words or images mean in the real world.
Keeping in mind the purpose of assessment for and of your learning, will help you use your judgement about the appropriate use of AI in the preparation of your assessed work.
