With advances in artificial intelligence, 7th–9th graders have learned to use AI to their advantage when searching for information. The most commonly used AI tools for information searches are ChatGPT and Gemini.
Most elementary school students use AI because it provides them with quick and efficient answers to their assignments, allowing them to spend more time “surfing the web”—that is, playing shooter games and online games.
But what are the benefits of AI?
ChatGPT is good at retrieving information from the internet when a user asks for it, and it provides a quick response.
Gemini is a search-based AI that can offer users different kinds of information and perspectives compared to ChatGPT.
Why do elementary school students use AI in the first place?
Elementary school students use AI because it allows them to surf the web faster, play games, and get full marks on assignments.
Should the use of AI be banned in school?
It might be a good idea to limit the use of AI in school for learning purposes, because students who need information already receive enough instruction on the topics.
Online Gaming
Many elementary school students like to play games online when they have computer assignments.
The most popular game in the Pirkanmaa region is Poki Games.
Using Google for Research
Many schools have a policy that “Google” should be used for information searches, rather than artificial intelligence. Information searches test a student’s ability to find information on their own, rather than relying on artificial intelligence; for example: What is hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an element in the periodic table. Its chemical symbol is H (Latin: hydrogenium). Hydrogen is a nonmetal, but in the periodic table it is placed in the first main group along with the alkali metals.
