ChatGPT Takes Physics Exam

ORAL

Abstract

Can ChatGPT help students learn introductory physics? How can we incorporate ChatGPT into our physics recitations? To illustrate the importance of ChatGPT, this past spring semester, ChatGPT took one of my exams in the first semester, algebra-based physics course on mechanics. I discuss how it performed, compare its score to the rest of the class (humans) and discuss how ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer) has the potential to dramatically change the landscape in introductory physics courses.
