[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9334459, member: 7035894"] Also, it's cheating. Which is completely unethical. Also, you're learning nothing, so why even bother? For the grade, I suppose, but then see above. It's cheating. Also, a lot of it is very easy to spot (writing from decades of experience as a teacher, specializing in Higher Level (HL) classes in Theory of Knowledge and Language&Literature for grade 11-12 International Baccalaureate students). Work produced by generative AI is very well written in a superficial sense, in terms of usually having well organized, grammatically and syntactically correct writing that typically addresses the topic accurately enough in a broad sense. It also lacks originality, personality and insight. It very much reads as competent but generic filler. And the students who resort to using it are generally much worse writers in a technical sense, so it is pretty obvious that they are cheating. Also, it makes stuff up, which can be pretty hilarious when you are assessing a students' knowledge and understanding of a text, and suddenly "they" are writing about random stuff that is not in the text. One student's AI-generated essay on the film Lady Bird, aside from suddenly shifting into perfectly executed, generic prose, also spent that paragraph exploring the gender implications of the subplot where Lady Bird's best friend Julie comes out as a lesbian and the division this created between Julie and her mother, which Lady Bird has to bridge while dealing with her own mixed feelings. There is no such subplot in the film. [/QUOTE]
