Remember how a couple days ago us educators were feeling comfortable that ChatGPT produces B essays & can't do citations & makes up stuff all the time? I had the new Bing AI create an assignment and rubric. Then I had it write an essay in response. Not perfect, but a huge leap.

And you can do all the usual stuff: "write it in words instead of bullet points," "make the fourth paragraph better," use only books as citations, etc...
It will also do deep case studies applying concepts that are pretty good!

Yesterday I used AI to create a complete novel mashing up characters from Aladdin and Avatar into a new story. 100% AI, including the artwork: zi.fi/whatif-neytiri-was-ala… The oddest thing is that it is actually fairly good despite getting no human guidance for content.

Its more than half the people on the planet can do… so it’s a start

Fascinating! An issue in academia is thinking of chatGPT in absolutes. 'If it doesn't always get everything correct, it isn't worthy.' The pivot point will be when we realise that AI is the Watson to our Sherlock. 🔎 Its role is to amplify our process, not to always be right.
And then a week later it is Sherlock

Honestly not too worried. In-class writing, editing/rating tasks, AI prompt design, even compare and contrast activities using AI-written essays... lots of possible lessons that clever teachers could think up to make this a positive development
