I have a masters degree in literature, with a secondary reader from linguistics, and am ABD on my doctorate. I have assessed thousands of students and many thousands of examples of student writing, from ages 12 into adulthood. I am extensively trained in various methods of assessing writing. I currently teach IB Theory of Knowledge, IB Language and Literature, and Creative Writing.I think I am reasonably expert in assessing young human adult writing by any objective standard.Here is something that I got ChatGPT to write:write a memorandum for the office on not drinking my milk from the office fridgeMemorandumTo: Office StaffFrom: [Your Name] Subject: Office Fridge UsageI am writing to remind all staff members that the office fridge is for communal use and should be treated with respect. Specifically, I would like to bring attention to the fact that several individuals have been seen taking and consuming milk from the office fridge without replacing it.Please be mindful of your actions and refrain from consuming communal items without replacing them. If you do consume something, please ensure that it is replaced or restocked as soon as possible.We all have a responsibility to maintain a clean and organized office environment, and this includes being conscientious about our use of the office fridge.Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.Sincerely, [Your Name]can you make it more passive aggressive and add sarcasmMemorandumTo: Office Staff From: [Your Name] Subject: Office Fridge Usage (or lack thereof)Greetings esteemed colleagues,I would like to take a moment to address the elephant in the room, or should I say, the missing milk in the office fridge. It appears that some individuals have been under the impression that the office fridge is their personal dairy cow, and have been helping themselves to the milk without a second thought about replacing it for the rest of the office to enjoy.I mean, who needs milk anyways, right? It's not like it's an essential part of a balanced breakfast or anything. I'm sure we can all survive on dry cereal and black coffee.But, in all seriousness, can we please show some common courtesy and respect for our communal spaces and items? If you do decide to indulge in the office's milk supply, please make sure to replace it as soon as possible.Let's all work together to maintain a clean and organized office environment, and not just for the sake of the milk, but for the overall well-being of the office.Sincerely, [Your Name] (who is now officially lactose intolerant)That second version of the memo is fantastic. I would be proud to have come up with that final double entendre. If you are looking at that and seeing "verbal cardboard," I don't know what to tell you.It turns out that writing can be very effectively automated. Which probably means that most of it was not as special as we like to think. We should see this as an opportunity - with AIs assisting us in writing, the way they already assist in innumerable other tasks, how far can we continue to push human creativity?Edit: I also got it to produce the last version of the memo in Swedish. No problem.</blockquote>
