ChatGPT and language models based on artificial intelligence They are the latest sensation when it comes to technology. Its ability to generate text blocks simply by describing or specifying certain parameters showed that its use could be quite varied. However, this does not mean that all ways to use these chatbots will be correct, and the American university was a perfect example.

As reported Los Angeles Times and other local media Vanderbilt University, based in Nashville, sent out an email to its students following the mass shooting that took place in Michigan last week, a tragic event that killed 3 and injured 5 people. This is a fairly common procedure in these situations, as a message is usually sent to the students to comfort them and create a community. However, the detail of this text outraged, namely that it was generated with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT Scandal

The message distributed by the university administration among the students contained a fragment generated by ChatGPT: “After the shootings in MichiganLet’s come together as a community to reaffirm our commitment to caring for each other and promoting a culture of inclusion on our campus.”. The students paid attention to this detail because the email mentioned that their text was generated by AI.

The students were shocked and very outraged to discover this fact, since the university used an automated tool to create a message that was supposed to have humanitarian purposes, such as comforting people after such a terrible event as a mass shooting. Moreover, the students felt that there was no need to even use AI in this case.

University apology

After the scandal erupted, the administrators Vanderbilt University apologized, acknowledging that the use ChatGPT comforting others after a tragedy was “bad judgment”. “Like all new technologies affecting higher education, this moment is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on what we know and what we still need to learn about AI.”said Nicole JosephAssociate Dean for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the University.

However, the response of the university did not fully convince the students and that is why, according to the portal Vicethe institution decided that ChatGPT It will be used exclusively in already designated processes that require a chatbot with artificial intelligence Open AI.
