“Catch the trend” ChatGPT, a school in Vietnam buys the best account for 5,000 students to use

ChatGPT created by the startup company OpenAI is a tool that receives special attention from the public, both inside and outside the technology world. After only 3 months of launch, this AI (artificial intelligence) chatbot tool has become the fastest application to attract new users among popular applications on the internet today.

Based on data from Similar Web, ChatGPT was announced by OpenAI at the end of November 2022, attracting 57 million users after a month. As of January 31, this AI chatbot has reached 100 million users. On average every day in January, it attracts 13 million visitors.

Besides, stories about ChatGPT being able to write a thesis or write an article in 30 seconds also raise concerns about ChatGPT can threaten the jobs of teachers, journalists, etc.

Even in Vietnam, ChatGPT also created a craze on social networks when family members tried to create accounts and share conversations with this chatbot.

In particular, Funix school – a unit of FPT Corporation has given more than 5,000 students their own experience with this tool. Sharing in a recent seminar, Mr. Quach Ngoc Xuan – CTO Funix said that ChatGPT has been integrated into the internal chat system. Students can freely experience, ask and answer chatbots. Even this school does not use a free account, but buys the most advanced package of the application to ChatGPT for the most accurate answer.

Commenting on ChatGPT, Mr. Quach Ngoc Xuan does not think that this is a concern, but on the contrary, is a new opportunity to help the school go further in online training, instead of building it by itself and not responding to the changes. change of the world.

It is known that Funix is ​​an IT education and training organization, but there is no school, no class and no textbooks available. Instead, Funix wants to take a new approach to training to make the best use of resources on the internet.

“ChatGPT helps to improve knowledge. With Google, knowledge is quite vast, but if students can search for more detailed information like ChatGPT, it is more effective. ChatGPT is strong in that it can give very detailed or easy to understand answers.

Mentors (instructions) when using ChatGPT can be more hands-free. In the past, mentors often had to answer all students’ questions in great detail, from small and simple questions. ChatGPT can help in this so that mentors can focus on leading roles and share more real stories“, CTO Funix commented.

Funix is ​​trying to integrate ChatGPT into the Q&A section, so that students can ask and answer questions with the chatbot first before asking the mentor.

Can ChatGPT replace teachers?

Commenting on the threats and challenges of ChatGPT to the education industry, Dr. Dam Quang Minh – President of General Education Division, EQuest Education Group recalled the appearance of Google or handheld computers. formerly.

“The development of science and technology makes us ask many questions whether teaching or some part is still important. This is not a new question.

When the addition-subtraction-multiplication-dividing calculator was introduced, there was a series of questions about whether children had to learn calculus anymore? Or when Google was born, a series of questions asked whether libraries and information storage were still needed?

When hand-held computers were introduced, calculation skills were only taught to low-level students. Or when Google was born, in the classroom or exam, the questions about “definition” gradually disappeared, replaced by questions to improve new knowledge levels. So is education. The birth of ChatGPT this time also caused the school to change the way it tests, evaluates, and teaches students. But that doesn’t mean ChatGPT is a substitute. It just adds and elevates a new step, which I consider positive. Provide learners with new and effective ways to learn, smarter, and more creatively. Dr. Dam Quang Minh expressed.
