I'm going to try to track down an episode of a podcast I listened to recently, in which the speaker talked about using chatGPT to write an essay about grief. From what I remember, the first drafts were filled with typical chatGPT clunkiness, but over several rounds of failed drafts, she was eventually able to name her own feelings about something so complex. The story was really helpful for me in illuminating the limits of chatGPT, and also how it could be used as a tool.

Educational tool that actually increases equity.

The idea that even though it's hard to catch AI plagiarism now, there will be checks later and it can be used retroactively for papers submitted on TurnItIn - and even if you're caught plagiarizing years later and have your degree rescind.

Research skills-- the hunt for research, lateral thinking. Finding things you didn't know existed.

Shocking difference! Human has voice, specificity, nuance, personal connection. Will Chat catch up? Also shows students how would they feel about us doing this?

ChatGPT writes rudimentary analysis, which is where they are at. This is now spoon-feeding them. Proud of prompts that could not be "googled," but now it's there.

We don't mind that students may use it as a tool, but it "hurts Scott's heart" knowing kids might feel they have to/ need to. I have a little of this too (it kind of does my job for me - so will I be obsolete, or will my job just shift to fostering more deep thought and creative ideas?). Flip side of this, also a negative, is...will this just make students not read even more???

Are we phasing something out? Spell-check, grammar check, it's all done for them-- do we still teach? Aside from AP exam on paper, when do we turn in anything hand-written?

In FEED, they have computers in their brains, and basically everyone is kind of ignorant/dumb. It's like having ChatGPT in your brain.

Some of us liked what Sarah and article had to say about its potential to positively change our lessons. Yes, students will cheat, but it can also help us create great questions, throw out boring/ old/ tired topics that we've leaned on for years. Instead of being paralyzed by the plagiarism, how can we use this to enhance our teaching?

We seem to all agree that Prep should reach out to our community (parents) with a statement, not necessarily policy. If they don't know about it, they might not realize. Do we need a policy? Is it part of "acceptable use" policy? Is it plagiarism?

- The issue with this is it does not let students "think it out" or figure out their thoughts on paper, the moments of discovery are so important. At NCTE the USC Writing Program discussed the importance of using writing to think things out.

- It is a solution for the blank page.
- The first answer is rarely good, but then you can ask it to fix it up.

Felt okay about it over break. Thought about all the ways I would work WITH it instead of against it. Started the school year with an interesting conversation and wrapped it into our 1st semester novel, Feed.
We're in a poetry unit right now. My students are obsessed with having ChatGPT create poetry per my prompts and it's starting to grate. I am suspicious they're going home and having ChatGPT compose poetry (a lot of it is awful, so that's helpful...?). Not sure what to do with it now.
