OpenAI has introduced a new feature in ChatGPT that allows you to customize the assistant's communication style, adapting it to the user's needs and the context of use. This is not a change in the "intellectual" capabilities of AI, but an intervention in the way content is expressed: tone, warmth, level of enthusiasm, text structure and use of emojis.
For the world of schools, this novelty represents a concrete opportunity to make interaction with AI more consistent with educational objectives, with the age of the students and with the disciplinary context.
In teaching, form is often as important as content. An explanation may be correct but not very effective if the language is not appropriate for the audience. The new "Features" section allows teachers to model ChatGPT as a real personalized teaching assistant, capable of:
- adopt a more encouraging tone with younger students;
- maintain a sober and rigorous style in academic contexts;
- structure the answers in a clear and schematized way;
Use (or restrict) visuals such as emojis depending on your grade level.
