Lately, we’ve been assigned to interview with a historical figure via Magic School’s Character Chatbot. Magic School is an online platform which aims to prevent the teacher burnout with providing various tools to the teachers. With these tools, teachers can develop lesson plans, design assignments, and generate materials. Magic School have over 60 Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools which makes this platform a heaven for the creative and innovative teachers (University of Cincinnati, 2024).
Character Chatbot is a tool in the Magic Student part of the
Magic School which assists you to chat with any historic figure, author, or
recognisable character from a story. When I heard that there is an AI facility
like this, I felt a bit bewildered at first. The options were endless. I could have
talked with Hitler, with Anne Frank, with Simone de Beauvoir, with Keith
Moon…In the end, I decided to do a supposed interview with John Lennon as he is
a well-known figure in the music history. In addition, I know a great deal of
knowledge about Lennon and The Beatles. Therefore, I thought I could catch hold
of any mistake that the AI does and inform you about it.
Ah, so you've picked up on that line from "Strawberry Fields Forever", have you? (chuckles wryly) Leave it to a clever sod like yourself to find the deeper meaning in me lyrics.
As I fired my first question to AI Lennon, a bubbly John Lennon welcomed me with a ‘Liverpudlian’ accent. His way of talking was definitely lovely and compelling which instigated me to enter to a virtual universe which I can hug my musical hero and reminisce about the past. Most of the interview was really immersive and felt very close to reality. However, there were also sometimes which our AI Lennon made mistakes. AI Lennon told me that he wrote the song ‘Yesterday’ though it was an obvious Paul McCartney classic. Also, AI Lennon said his mother Julia was playing the piano but as far as I’m concerned there isn’t such a thing as well.
After I completed my interview with John Lennon, I have
written a report on it where I highlighted the key points from our
conversation. With the Magic School’s Writing Feedback Tool, I got feedback for
my report. The feedback was relevant and accurate usually. In accordance with
the feedback, I made some alterations in my report and polished it.
As we also discussed in our last Instructional Technology
course, AI is currently like a 5-year-old kid and needs improvement. However,
the results are even awe-inspiring for now. The AI tools can definitely be integrated
to the teaching and learning practices. AI can be an amazing tool to enliven
the class environment and could motivate students. However, it must not be
forgotten that AI is not perfect and have the potential of providing you with
wrong answers sometimes. Therefore, if it will be used for educational
purposes, teachers must scrutinise the processes and must not be totally
dependent on AI.
