[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids tell me that cheating using the AI feature on Grammarly is rampant. Teachers have all been using Grammarly to help their students edit their work since the editing software on Google docs is so weak, but now Grammarly has added AI. I looked at it and you can give it paragraphs and have it totally rewrite them for you or give it a prompt and have it generate a whole writing piece. Apparently users previously payed for these features, but now they're a part of the basic app.

Why hasn't MCPS blocked it? Assuming they still want kids to learn how to write on their own, shouldn't they at least make school devices clean of AI?

They should block spellchecker too and require everyone to write in cursive! None of these modern tools because that's cheating! :D[/quote]

I do think there's a difference between using tools that help you write and using tools that do the writing for you.[/quote]

So then you should be down with ChatGPT. Since when used correctly it can improve your writing but if  you use it to write for you, you will get incoherant nonsense.[/quote]

Honestly, this is a great way to use the tool as it is now, especially if you are stuck on how to start your writing prompt.  Its not reliable for anything requiring facts or actual citations though. It’s very clear if someone tries to use and submit what Chat spits out as their own directly.  [/quote]
