My school had a collaboration with the National Institute of Education, which meant that my fifth graders got to test out a LLM chatbot dedicated to honing writing skills before they crafted their composition. Sample prompts were given to me by the ICT coordinator in charge of this project, so I thought that everything would be a breeze. However, it turned out that some of my students became frustrated in the midst of using this chatbot. Seemed that they couldn’t get a direct answer from it. It kept asking them to clarify exactly what was expected of it. The above was feedback that I gave to the ICT coordinator. While it’s true that excessive use of AI will cause cognitive atrophy, people who use it judiciously do experience less stress with their workload. I should know. I copied and pasted all the positive remarks my colleagues had given for our students when the latter was sitting for their final-year exam onto ChatGPT. I then prompted ChatGPT to make sense of it and organise my colleagues’ remarks coherently. Instantly, it delivered. Seems hypocritical of me not to teach my 11-year-olds how to prompt to achieve results, but should primary school students use their grey brain cells more before depending on LLMs?
