"INDUSTRIOUSNESS AND AI FOR 2025" (PART 3) Over 40 million Americans use Artificial Intelligence tools daily. ChatGPT claims an estimated 100 million weekly users in the U.S. High school students (ages 13–17) are increasingly adopting AI for schoolwork, with around 26% reporting its use—double the level from a year ago. Roughly 37% of college students report currently using ChatGPT for assignments, and 56% of students overall have used AI for coursework or exams.
A person who is Industrious takes the approach: "Facts first, opinions second." As John Wooden reminded us: "There is no substitute for work."
I think ChatGPT is a good resource if used with caution. I asked ChatGPT two questions to test its accuracy.:
ChatGPT gave confident answers. Both were wrong.
First, it said Coach Wooden got the nickname "Indiana Rubber Man" because of his "suicidal dives" on the court. Wrong. The nickname came from the rubber padding on the wall in his high school gym. After layups, he’d bounce off it and sprint back on defense.
Second, ChatGPT said Coach Wooden "valued players diving on the floor." Wrong. Coach Wooden did not want his players diving on the floor. Coach believed if you dove on the floor, you were off balance. He wanted you to pick the ball up. He also did not want to risk injury diving for a loose ball. Hopefully there is not a ChatGPT Coach somewhere encouraging his players to dive on the floor like John Wooden.
Here are some things I have found ChatGPT helpful with:
ChatGPT is not good for:
It’s not industrious to ask ChatGPT to do your thinking. It is industrious to ask it to give you more to think about.
Who does your thinking?
Yours in Coaching, Craig Impelman
