Update: Artificial Intelligence
To-Do Date: Aug 21 at 11:59amArtificial intelligence (AI) language models like ChatGPT
AI models can be very helpful when making outlines or organizing writing, especially for non-fluent English writers, and people with limited experience writing. Similar to how Wikipedia can be a reasonable place to START your research - to find useful sources that are more reputable, ChatGPT and other models can be a reasonable place for you to get ideas and outline your own writing.
All that said - your final product for any assignment in this class needs to be your own original work - this means your ideas must be your own, even if you have help from ChatGPT with words. In addition, you are responsible for verifying and citing information used in AI generated text.
- if you use Chat GPT, you must use citations and references to give credit to the AI engine. (How to Cite Generative AI)Links to an external site.
Known issues with ChatGPT and other AI models
When students have used AI language generators for my course I have noticed the following issues:
- multiple students turning in assignments with identical wording and phrases
- incorrect information and misuse of vocabulary words
- failure to adequately address the prompt/question/other requirements for the assignment
- large sections of text that do not relate to the prompt/question/assignment requirements
