It was through ChatGPT that students could have access to several advantages. On the other hand, when the subject is teaching-learning, a facilitator is not a great ally. The program makes use of artificial intelligence able to summarize books, write texts and solve mathematical problems. After most of these students use it, New York has decided that the best thing to do is to block its use in schools.
A tool that gives access to so many results easily does not encourage student learning. Solving mathematical accounts and having access to texts is something that is part of the routine of anyone at school. In addition to the future difficulty that students may encounter, ChatGPT has generated something of an addiction among young people. By having access to AI, critical thinking is no longer stimulated and there is no ability to solve small problems.

After the decision, the New York City Department of Education communicated to TechCrunch that the tool would only will be available again if schools apply to use it for research purposes. The blocking was carried out on the following social networks: Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
What is the real problem with ChatGPT in schools?
Before, the problem was focused on Yahoo Answers, as students searched for an answer and received it, however the use of AI is similar to the mentioned platform. They differ only in the speed with which they can deliver information. Both directly affect teaching and student learning.
School is that “moment” between childhood, adolescence and adulthood that stimulates critical thinking, the development of the ability to think and solve problems. It is in the school environment that the student becomes and forms as a citizen belonging to a society. By having access to these tools, most of the teaching – critical thinking, logical reasoning, problem solving – is affected.
Another difficulty encountered in colleges New Yorkers is plagiarism. ChatGPT may have access to false information and may reproduce it as if it were legitimate, in addition to appropriating texts from different authors.
According to the statement, the ChatGPT AI was blocked so that students would not become dependent on the tool and would not be affected in the future by major problems arising from its use.
