Hi there I'm completely new to AI (although Google's first responses are always AI generated, so it says) and the ChatGPT software. In this example (and I am a Maths teacher/tutor) could these questions, not to mention doing some correctly and some wrongly, be thrown straight at the AI/ChatGPT software or did it need programming/preconditioning?
1. Your intro to Q28 says it's Q24. (The final correct answer was supposed to be 24.)
2. on Q11(b), it is attempting to add 1/12 to 5/6 but adding the numerators of 1 and 5, despite the denominators being different. It has already got a common denominator of 12, but doesn't add the numerators of those fractions... so it gets 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2.
AI...
I do not trust it. I have tried, but I can't.
AI chat programs are biased. There is no "machine learning". It has a set of inputs, or sources it can get info from, the churns out answers. The code is highly secretive, and AI is programmed to "assure" the user that it is designed to be non-biased.
I have also tried to get AI to design me a little logo. It cannot follow basic inputs.
There have been many examples of AI producing results that are deliberately designed to push narratives.
When it comes to creation of things for teaching... well, as pointed out in the article, the answers have to be checked. As for me, I can't be bothered to spend the time on AI to get one possible common error for each question. I can just read a question and get a few common errors much faster.
But, possibly more importantly than common errors, I enjoy finding different ways to answer questions. For example, on the 2024 OCR GCSE Higher Tier Paper 6, for which I was one of the markers, I found 5 different methods to solve Q19. I love to explore different methods for solving a problem, as it helps students to "give it a go" when they can't see how to get the final answer, and it also gives them more options to play with.
These are things that are easy for a human to do, but much more tricky for AI, and then it has to be checked by a human anyway.
While a Foundation Tier paper might be accessible for AI, I wonder how it would cope with something from A Level? Try some integration... :)
I think it might help to give you some ideas that you then review and add your own. If it gets your thinking juices flowing - that can be helpful. If you use it to save time by doing the work and hand that out then it will likely screw up your kids and you're also letting your brain atrophy.
By AI do you mean the climate-destroying plagiarism machine?

A couple of quick things on the post:
1. Your intro to Q28 says it's Q24. (The final correct answer was supposed to be 24.)
2. on Q11(b), it is attempting to add 1/12 to 5/6 but adding the numerators of 1 and 5, despite the denominators being different. It has already got a common denominator of 12, but doesn't add the numerators of those fractions... so it gets 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2.
