So how good is #ChatGPT really? Can it pass AP Lit?

I pulled a Billy Madison and went back to school to find out!

Had so much fun working on this column and video:

@joannastern @caseynewton It was excellent! Great perspective. The power of being critical and positive at the same time is something your videos master Joanna. Thank you!

@joannastern Just watched this video with my middle schooler who was wondering if he could use this for his English class? Maybe it would work better for 7th graders?

@mikenoe Funny enough, I got to this class via a fan! They had reached out about a year ago and when I had this idea for the story I reached out to him. He hooked it up!

@joannastern I love that his response was looking to integrate the technology in the classroom. I could totally see assignments where you would critique AI writing. Would have been interesting when I was in high school lol

@joannastern wait...wait, should I have made my O'Doyle joke on here instead of the other place? (partly just testing out Mastadon today, too)

@joannastern Another solid video. Varsity jacket is on point. Love the kid behind you with the huge black mop!
