What is the QA4ODFL2 Bot?

The QA4ODFL Bot is an experimental robotic chat tool currently in development. It is being trained to assist learners with content-related questions in this course. The term 'Bot' is short for 'robot' and refers to a computer program designed to simulate chat conversation.

The Bot is powered by ChatGPT, a technology owned by the commercial company OpenAI. ChatGPT is a computer program that utilises generative AI, a branch of artificial intelligence. This technology generates text based on the input it receives and uses knowledge from training data to generate a response.

The Commonwealth of Learning has subscribed to access ChatGPT through a customised web service that they have developed. The QA4ODFL2 Bot has been trained using the course materials for QA4ODFL2.

Limitations of the QA4ODFL Bot

The QA4ODFL Bot is an early prototype that will require ongoing refinement. There are several known limitations:

• Currently training data has been limited to the course materials, so the Bot cannot provide technical support for queries related to course technologies.
• The Bot might not accurately understand the context of your query in relation to the course, leading to potentially inaccurate responses.
• ChatGPT, as a language model, has inherent limitations that can affect the accuracy of its outputs.
