IA, LLM, misinformation, ChatGPTAbstract
One of the most well-known components of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) hypernym is large model languages (or LLMs), one of the most popular being ChatGPT, which is being widely used by university students for various tasks, from summarizing articles, solving problems and even writing complete papers. The most obvious problem is the impossibility of detecting with certainty this type of practices, however, an overlooked problem is that the responses generated by this type of models are not (to date) verifiable and their reliability is questionable. In this paper, a brief explanation of what AI is and how LLMs work will be presented as a first point. Subsequently, the results of a survey on the use of ChatGPT will be analyzed, as well as the information collected from use cases, concluding with recommendations on how to make students aware of what an LLM really does and how to use it correctly.
