Researchers exploring ways to utilise ChatGPT for work, say it could save organisations and individuals a lot of time and money when it comes to planning trips.
A new study, published in Innovations in Education and Teaching International (IETI), has tested whether ChatGPT can be used to design University field studies.
It found that the free-to-use AI model is an effective tool for not only planning educational trips around the world, but also could be used by other industries.
The research, led by scientists from the University of Portsmouth and University of Plymouth, specifically focused on marine biology courses.
It involved the creation of a brand new field course using ChatGPT, and the integration of the AI-planned activities into an existing university module.
The team developed a comprehensive guide for using the chatbot, and successfully organised a single-day trip in the UK using the AI's suggestion of a beach clean-up activity to raise awareness about marine pollution and its impact on marine ecosystems.
They say the established workflow could also be easily adapted to support other projects and professions outside of education, including environmental impact studies, travel itineraries, and business trips.
Chatbots like ChatGPT are powered by large amounts of data and computing techniques to make predictions to string words together in a meaningful way. They not only tap into a vast amount of vocabulary and information, but also understand words in context.
Since OpenAI launched the 3.0 model in November 2022, millions of users have used the technology to improve their personal lives and boost productivity. Some workers have used it to write papers, make music, develop code, and create lesson plans.
