AI-ChatGPT in the Education’s Practical Action Space: The Process from Prompt to Factcheck
摘要
In this chapter, the ethnographic presence around the practice orientation is sharpened by both following the debate about ChatGPT’s role as an academic/didactic sparring partner and following along into the practical trading space. The analysis does not leave the political debate or the public forums, but changes focus, perspective and space. The analytical point is that the discourses and arguments of the debate are followed, but now embedded in the practical examples. In continuation of this, the chapter’s close analyses follow exercises and task courses that move between ‘prompting’ (i.e. instructing) the chatbot and fact-checking the result. The ethnographic principle ‘following the case…’ is still effective. But it also means following a shift in discourse and rationale. Through the professionals’ practice-oriented discourses, the rationale of IT expertise is put into relief and replaced with a didactic rationale. The political discourse is shifted accordingly and makes the practical challenges of the institutions present.
