Before the start of the school year, the Ministry of National Education publishes the regulations that apply to students at particular stages of education. The list consists mainly of literary classics, but there are also individual titles by contemporary authors. And although reading is extremely important in shaping the worldview and developing critical thinking in young people, the reading rate is decreasing every year. Why?
These readings are mandatory, but they shouldn’t be. GPT chat justifies the choice
The choice of school rules has been a controversial issue for many years. Some believe that some titles effectively discourage students from reading, while others argue that they are important in understanding how various thoughts have developed over the centuries. So we asked the GPT chat which books should not be compulsory, although they are, and the listed items, especially for young people, will not be a surprise.
The list includes five absolute classics, including: one of William Shakespeare’s most popular works, “Romeo and Juliet”. According to AI, the way in which the author presented the sacrifice of lovers in the name of love may be incomprehensible to the reader at an early stage of development, just like the psychological analyzes of the characters in “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The message of Sophocles’ “Antigone” may also be difficult to understand due to its advanced combination of form and ethical themes, as well as Adam Mickiewicz’s “Forefathers’ Eve” due to its structure and numerous cultural references, without knowledge of which it is impossible to fully understand the plot.
The list included more than just reading material. Chat GTP would not recommend these books to students
However, GPT chat is not infallible. Therefore, the detailed list that should not be mandatory includes, among others: a true classic of the fantasy genre, “The Lord of the Rings” by JRR Tolkien, as well as “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel. “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand may also cause problems for students due to its numerous philosophical and ideological premises, as well as “Tales from the Meekhan Frontier” by Ursula K. Le Guin and “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, which are rich in science fiction elements.
