Friends, we may be in trouble. My conversation with OpenAI's ChatGPT about the theme of honor in 1 Henry IV (on which I just graded student posts). These aren't brilliant, but they are credible and I would probably not recognize them as not being the students' own work. #Shakespeare #AI #EdTech

I already use some more creative prompts for student writing, and I can see myself going further in that direction.

@DrMMontgomery I wonder if it would help to make them quote from the text to prove their reading? I suppose AI can catch up with that?

@CristinaLAlfar Oh, I do use a more detailed prompt that asks them to quote from the text to support their points. It also asks them to focus on a single character. But the AI bot was able to come up with pretty good quotes when I prompted it. Oddly the citations were wrong but that seems like a pretty easy thing for it to catch up with. The AI's sentence-level writing is better than many of my students', though its engagement with the text is more surface-level.
