課程概述 |
Generated by ChapGPT:
This course explores the use of ChatGPT, a large language model, as a tool for engaging with philosophical questions and problems. Students will learn how to interact with ChatGPT to generate responses to philosophical questions. The course will cover a range of topics in philosophy of time.
In this course, students will learn how to formulate questions that can be answered by ChatGPT, how to interpret ChatGPT's responses, and how to critically evaluate the limitations and strengths of using machine learning for philosophical inquiry.
Overall, this course aims to develop students' critical thinking and analytical skills by providing them with a unique opportunity to engage with philosophical questions using cutting-edge technology.
Notes:
Below are the philosophical questions we will go through in this course. Do the past or future exist in the way the present exists? Are pastness, presentness, and futurity consistent notions? Do I have temporal parts as well as spatial parts if time is in many ways analogous to space? How can we mention the past if it’s already gone? How can we know this is the present moment? On the reunion of twins after a space journey, which one is older? Is time travel possible? Is it possible to kill one’s grandfather? Is presentness compatible with special relativity given that the latter allows no absolute simultaneity? Does space exist like a substance in its own right, or is it nothing but spatial relationships between objects? |

Course dynamics:
Each student enrolled in this class is expected to adhere to certain requirements. These include completing assigned readings before every class, attending each session, and participating actively in both in-class and group discussions.
The class will be divided into sets, with each set comprising five groups. Each group, in turn, will have only four members.
In the first session of class, each group will use ChatGPT to learn as much as possible about a given topic. This will involve a series of tasks, such as checking ChatGPT's response to the topic, refining questions to obtain more refined answers, critically evaluating ChatGPT's responses, and formulating the group's response, which should differ from ChatGPT's response.
In the second session of class, 2 or 3 randomly selected groups will present to the class, showcasing their interaction with ChatGPT and detailing the tasks they completed in the first session of class. The instructor will evaluate each group's performance and grant an additional point towards the final grade, which may be a positive or negative number.
In the third session of class, the instructor will provide a traditional lecture-style overview of the topic and views.
In addition, there will be four group presentation events, with each set organizing a time and place for their presentation and debate. (So different sets may have different time/place for presentation.) Each group will be required to present their findings (just like what they do in the first session of class) and answer questions or challenges from other groups. Presentations have to be filmed and uploaded to NTUCOOL as proof of completion. |
