New York schools ban ChatGPT for fear of misinformation

It is worth mentioning that the measure will only apply to public school networks and devices in New York City, so students will be able to continue using it at home.

ChatGPT, a tool with risk of misinformation

This platform is freely accessible to any internet user and has been so revolutionary for its ability to answer questions and write different types of narratives, from poems, through scripts or even academic essays, with a language similar to that of humans.

In addition, their texts are based on all the information that exists on the internet and that is precisely their problem, because on the one hand they run the risk of repeating or amplifying hate speech on the web, such as racism or sexism through your answers.

In the educational field, teachers have highlighted that this system is prone to inventing information, such as historical dates or even scientific laws, so teachers consider that with this software it is impossible to assess the ability of students to write an essay in home and develop all the skills that this implies.
