Using AI bot to help with grammar

Post by patron »

Just a warning to learners that AI bots can often make mistakes when answering grammar questions. They are fine for simple questions, but often contradict themelves and give incorrect information. My tip is to check and double check and never to accept a bots answer as being 100% correct.

Agree. Also, they can mislead you, so don't blindly rely on the AI's answer.

I recommend my students to use AI as a pathway to information. Don't use it as the final destination/result.

You've obviously pasted this from a bot. Is human coversation soon going to be replaced by bots? I hope not. AI bots can never replace human interaction and a good old fashioned thing called teaching. Yes, they can give replies to simple English enquiries and questions; however, in some cases they feed off websites that are questionable.
The process of searching, comparing and verifying using reputable texts and websites is part of the learning process.AI bots like spell checkers and grammarly etc are fine as adjuncts to learning, but if you don't know why a word is spelt wrong or why your grammar was incorrect then you will learn nothing.
