[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to go back to the days of these complaints.  Many of my students are having grammarly essentially write their work, and they don't even realize it because they think that using grammarly is just a "help," and, therefore, not even question whether this is their writing. They all sound like generic scholarly essays that are full of hot air because they don't really read the assignments well enough either! I've had to contact so many, [b]freak them out with AI plagiarism talk[/b] and get them to roll it back. Almost grateful to see misspellings because they are an indication that the work is authentic.

As for content, I make it clear from the beginning that points are earned by utilizing info from the readings.  It's in the prompt and the rubric. So, no need to chide there.

I think with today's students,  this email will just antagonize them, sadly. And some will catch that possessive/plural error.[/quote]

You do realize that everyone needs to adapt to generative AI, yes?  My kid is at a top school and 1/2 his classes REQUIRE use of ChatGPT and 1/2 are old school professors.  My kid assures me that probably by next year 100% of classes will use chatGPT in some fashion because the working world demands it.

There was an article in the WSJ today that nearly every MBA program is now incorporating chatGPT into their curricula.  Basically, they are telling students to use chatGPT to write "boiler plate" parts of a business plan and then student reviews and edits, and take original ideas and feed it into chatGPT and let it help fill in the blanks and make the thoughts punchier more concise.

You don't realize that this is a humanities class. Part of the point is to learn to write as a human. Students can use AI to brainstorm but not to develop phrasing. Humans need to hone written skills before using AI.[/quote]

You have to ask…for what purpose?  You are stating your viewpoint as though the business world cares whether a human has honed their written skills before using AI.  They don’t really care.

The working world will increasingly prefer the kid that knows how to best leverage AI over the best human writer.  Perhaps they are the same person…don’t know.[/quote]
