This is what I'm doing as an instructor at some local colleges. A lot of the students are completely unaware of these tools, and I really want to make sure they have some sense of how things are changing (inasmuch as any of us can tell...)

So I invite them to use chatGPT or whatever they like to help generate ideas, think things out, or learn more. The caveat is that they have to submit their chat transcript along with the final product; they have to show their work.

I don't teach any high-stakes courses, so this won't work for everyone. But educators are deluded if they think anyone is served by pretending that (A) this doesn't/shouldn't exist, and that (B) this and its successors are going away.

All of this stuff is going to change so much. It might be a bigger deal than the Internet. Time will tell.

I like this technique. You could also take a ChatGPT essay and have the students rewrite it or analyze for style.

Or have a session on how to write the prompts to generate the good stuff. In the hands of a skilled liberal artist, the models produce amazing results.

Yes the tool is powerful, but it still requires skills, knowledge and an ascetic voice.
