Title: Does Generative Artificial Intelligence render the Debate-Based Teaching Methodology Obsolete?
Abstract: This article investigates whether generative artificial intelligence (AI), exemplified by tools like ChatGPT, renders the debate methodology obsolete. It explores the educational sector's responses, from initial resistance to strategic adoption, and the profound impact on competitive debate. While AI enhances preparation through tools and iterative prompting strategies, the study emphasises the preservation of uniquely human tasks, such as rhetorical skill, critical reflection, and ethical reasoning. Introducing concepts like "bundles of tasks" and "cognitive artifacts," it argues for the integration of AI as a complement rather than a substitute. The analysis underscores the need for balanced policies and critical literacy to harmonise technological innovation with the enduring value of creativity, collaboration, and autonomy in debate. Far from obsolescence, debate evolves into a dynamic framework blending human and artificial intelligence.

Title: L'Intelligenza Artificiale Generativa rende obsoleta la metodologia didattica fondata sul Debate?
Abstract: Questo articolo indaga se l'intelligenza artificiale generativa (IA), esemplificata da strumenti quali ChatGPT, renda obsoleta la metodologia didattica del debate. Esamina le reazioni provenienti dal settore educativo, che spaziano da una iniziale resistenza fino a una strategica integrazione, e l'impatto profondo sull'ambito del debate competitivo. Pur riconoscendo che l'IA potenzia la fase preparatoria attraverso strumenti sofisticati e strategie iterative di prompting, lo studio pone l'accento sulla salvaguardia di compiti autenticamente umani, quali l'abilità retorica, la riflessione critica e il ragionamento etico. Introducendo concetti quali "aggregazioni di compiti" e "artefatti cognitivi", sostiene l'integrazione dell'IA come complemento, non come sostituto. L'analisi evidenzia la necessità di politiche equilibrate e di una competenza critica per armonizzare l'innovazione tecnologica con il valore durevole della creatività, della collaborazione e dell'autonomia nel debate. Lungi dal cadere nell'obsolescenza, il debate evolve in una dinamica sintesi di intelligenza umana e artificiale.

Title: ¿La Inteligencia Artificial Generativa vuelve obsoleta la metodología didáctica basada en el debate?
Abstract: Este artículo examina si la inteligencia artificial generativa (IA), ejemplificada por herramientas como ChatGPT, convierte en obsoleta la metodología del debate. Explora las respuestas del ámbito educativo, desde una resistencia inicial hasta una adopción estratégica, así como el impacto profundo en el debate competitivo. Aunque la IA mejora la preparación mediante herramientas y estrategias iterativas de prompting, el estudio enfatiza la conservación de tareas singularmente humanas, tales como la habilidad retórica, la reflexión crítica y el razonamiento ético. Introduciendo conceptos como "conjuntos de tareas" y "artefactos cognitivos", se aboga por la integración de la IA como complemento, no como sustituto. El análisis destaca la necesidad de políticas equilibradas y una alfabetización crítica que armonicen la innovación tecnológica con el valor perdurable de la creatividad, la colaboración y la autonomía en el debate. Lejos de volverse obsoleto, el debate evoluciona hacia un marco dinámico que conjuga inteligencias humana y artificial.

Title: A Inteligência Artificial Generativa torna obsoleta a metodologia de ensino baseada no debate?
Abstract: Este artigo investiga se a inteligência artificial generativa (IA), exemplificada por ferramentas como o ChatGPT, torna a metodologia do debate obsoleta. Analisa as respostas do setor educacional, que vão desde uma resistência inicial até uma adoção estratégica, bem como o impacto profundo no debate competitivo. Embora a IA aperfeiçoe a preparação por meio de ferramentas e estratégias iterativas de prompting, o estudo enfatiza a preservação de tarefas autenticamente humanas, como a habilidade retórica, a reflexão crítica e o raciocínio ético. Ao introduzir conceitos como "conjuntos de tarefas" e "artefatos cognitivos", defende-se a integração da IA como complemento e não como substituição. A análise ressalta a necessidade de políticas equilibradas e de uma literacia crítica para harmonizar a inovação tecnológica com o valor duradouro da criatividade, da colaboração e da autonomia no debate. Longe de se tornar obsoleto, o debate evolui para um quadro dinâmico que combina inteligência humana e artificial.
