Education - It may preserve the human and social aspects of education, such as the interpersonal relationships, the cultural diversity, and the ethical values, that could oth- erwise be eroded or distorted by ChatGPT, which may lack the empathy, sensitivity, or context to understand or respect them. Some possible costs are: - It may limit the access and opportunity of students and teachers to use ChatGPT as a valuable and innovative resource for learning and teaching. - It may hinder the development and improvement of ChatGPT as a beneficial and responsible technology for education, which could be informed and guided by the feedback, input, and collaboration of students and teachers. - It may isolate and disadvantage the New York City edu- cation system and its stakeholders from the global and digital trends and challenges of the 21st century. Reid: Thank you for such a balanced summary. Is it fair to say you view the ban as doing more harm than good? GPT-4: Yes, that is a fair summary of my perspective. However, I also acknowledge that there may be other perspectives and factors that could influence the decision, and that the ban may not be permanent or absolute. Therefore, I would encourage an open and informed dialogue among the relevant stakeholders. Reid: As a quick sidebar, when you say “my perspective,” who are you in this context and why should anyone care about your perspective? GPT-4: By “my perspective,” I mean the viewpoint I gen- erate based on the information and criteria that I have access to and apply. I do not claim that my perspective is the only or the best one, nor that it is free of bias or error. 27
