Abstract:
ChatGPT has caused a sensation and a stir in higher education didactics: the chatbot writes plagiarism-free papers on any topic, provides comprehensive answers to all knowledge questions in real time, and generates teaching materials and exam questions for any field of study.

But ChatGPT's capabilities don't stop there. The specialized language model, ChatGPT Codex, has been specifically trained to generate code. It can solve programming problems, making it an essential tool for novice programmers and also experienced developers. ChatGPT Codex has a deep understanding of the syntax, semantics, and conventions of all popular programming languages, allowing it to explain legacy code, debug broken code and even generate and test executable code from comments.

We have integrated ChatGPT as an answering tool in our web platform »frag.jetzt«, German for »ask.now« (https://frag.jetzt), and have already had very positive teaching and learning experiences with it. Our Q&A platform allows students to ask questions anonymously and receive answers from ChatGPT in real-time, providing them with the support they need to succeed in their studies. Additionally, ChatGPT Codex can be used as a programming assistant, helping students to understand and write code more efficiently.

In conclusion, ChatGPT and ChatGPT Codex are powerful tools that can revolutionize the way we approach higher education didactics. They provide students with the support they need to succeed in their studies and educators with the resources they need to create effective learning materials. We encourage you to watch the presentation to see how you can use the chatbot as an AI tutor and ChatGPT Codex as a programming assistant in your STEM courses.
