See ChatGPT: Teachers Weigh In on How to Manage the New AI Chatbot at my Education Week blog.
You may have heard of ChatGBT, the Artificial Intelligence-powered text chat (also, see I Think All Teachers Could Benefit From Reading This Article About Responding To Students Using Artificial Intelligence When Writing).
You might also be interested in THE BEST RESOURCES FOR TEACHING & LEARNING WITH AI ART GENERATION TOOLS and in A COLLECTION OF “BEST” LISTS ABOUT USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION.
Here’s a new Wall Street Journal video about it. But, before you watch it, you might want to check out some fun examples of it at work, along with some previous posts about how this kind of tech can affect education:

ChatGTP formats citations! I took a Chicago style list and fed it into the chat bot, and it converted the whole thing to APA 7. Amazing! (I know I should use a citation manager, but the citations were added manually to this paper)

This is amazing. #chatgpt just makes stuff up with no obvious sign of what it is doing. I tried it in Sports Scheduling (an area I know something about): none of the references listed exist!

ANOTHER GREAT (I THINK) WAY FOR ELLS TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Other reasons detectors don’t work:
1) They are often trained on GPT-3.5, so GPT-4 beats them
2) Even if they alert you to potential AI use there is no way to see if that is true
3) Students working interactively with AI defeat tests, as my class found👇 https://t.co/MFvKkTrEH4— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) June 8, 2023
