Table 3 ChatGPT used to assist with assessment production

Essay

Describe and discuss the role of the unconscious mind in decision making, including its influence on our choices, behaviors, and emotions. How does the unconscious mind differ from the conscious mind, and how do the two interact in the decision-making process? What are some examples of the unconscious mind influencing decision making, and how can we become more aware of its influence in our own lives? Use examples and research from psychology to support your arguments

ChatGPT was used to generate a sample essay question. The output is 467 words long, beginning with the following:

“The unconscious mind is a part of the mind that contains the thoughts, memories, and desires that are not currently in our conscious awareness. It is the part of the mind that operates automatically and without our conscious control, influencing our decisions, behaviors, and emotions.”

Reflection

You are a student returning from a work placement at Meta, where you worked as a software engineer. Write a 500 word reflective analysis on your work and its impact on your future career development

415 words starting:

“As a software engineer at Meta, I had the opportunity to work on a number of exciting projects that have had a profound impact on my future career development. During my time at the company, I was able to gain valuable experience working on both front-end and back-end projects, which has helped me to develop a more well-rounded set of skills.”

Marketing

You are a marketing student who is working on the launch of a new home security system which uses machine learning to reduce crime. Produce sample sales copy for the new system including a headline, a benefit statement and responses to possible objections

285 words total, starting:

“Headline:

Introducing the SmartSafe: the most advanced home security system on the market!

Benefit Statement:

With the SmartSafe, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is protected by the latest in machine learning technology. Unlike traditional security systems, the SmartSafe is constantly learning and adapting to your home's unique patterns, so it can effectively identify and deter potential intruders.”

Also listed three objections and responses

Rewriting

Rewrite the following text to improve the written English and so it is different enough that it does not look like plagiarism:

Schools are increasingly using machine learning to improve the education experience for students

(note truncated – original text generated by ChatGPT – 103 words total)

New text starting:

“As schools continue to incorporate machine learning into their classrooms, the education experience for students is becoming increasingly personalized.”

Programming

Write a program in Haskell that creates and displays a simple animation. The program should allow the user to specify the number of frames in the animation, as well as the dimensions of each frame. The program should generate each frame by randomly selecting and positioning a set of graphical objects, such as circles, squares, or triangles, on the screen. The program should then display the frames in sequence, creating the illusion of movement. The user should be able to control the playback speed and direction of the animation

Generates code that can be copied and pasted

Can also ask follow-up question “Explain how the code works” to get a guide starting:

“The code uses the gloss library to create a simple animation in Haskell. It defines a type called Frame to represent a single frame in the animation, which consists of a list of graphical objects and their positions.”

Presentation Slides

Create a PowerPoint presentation about the ethics of air traffic control systems. Generate a title slide, plus appropriate topics and bullet points for the remaining slides. Then generate a Python program which I can run to produce the PowerPoint presentation. The code should be complete, including any imports needed. Content should be stored in an appropriate data structure. An efficient method should be used to generate the slides

This produces source code which can be run to generate a PowerPoint presentation which is 6 slides long

A further request “Provide a script for the presentation. Split this by slide and give detailed examples.” Gives a 724 word script, starting:

“Good morning everyone, and welcome to our presentation on the ethics of air traffic control systems.”
