What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom
via jbranchaud@gmail.com
Like many teachers at every level of education, I have spent the past two years trying to wrap my head around the question of generative AI in my English classroom. To my thinking, this is a question that ought to concern all people who like to read and write, not just teachers and their students.
Each student submitted a draft of writing on a common subject and when the teacher presented all the titles in aggregate, you could see a plagiaristic convergence.
I expected them to laugh, but they sat in silence. When they did finally speak, I am happy to say that it bothered them. They didn’t like hearing how their AI-generated submissions, in which they’d clearly felt some personal stake, amounted to a big bowl of bland, flavorless word salad.
