JoannaSternEveryone was talking about
#ChatGPT + cheating.
So I did it. I went back to AP Lit and used it to write an essay.
My last WSJ video of the year, featuring me in a high school classroom with a bunch of teens giving me side eye:

Stephen Tatton@joannastern cool idea. I've been using it to ghostwrite my Yelp reviews.
@joannastern subnote: I do edit them afterwards because they're rarely perfect
@TattonTreks ha! “Write a review of a cold soup.”
@joannastern now I want to go try that 🤣 I had it write me a story about a man named Donnie (a friend) who loved potstickers and the results were hilarious
Jonas Nordlund@TattonTreks @joannastern I love to "test" ChatGPT about contradictory things, like giving it a challenge. In fact, I think it's become a bit of my favorite thing to do with it, haha... So here's the upbeat cold soup review. It's kind of upsetting me how it usually manages to make it make sense.
@jono @joannastern yes good idea! I usually use it to write the frame of my review and then edit for content and relevancy
Marina Epelman@joannastern Are there photos of actually school-age Joanna?
@marinaepelman in the vault!
@joannastern still, so many questions. The jacket?!
@marinaepelman $40 on Amazon!

in the beginning, all programmers wrote in assembler language. actually there was a time before that, but let’s say assembler language was the beginning of time.
when compilers became popular , the original assembler language people fought for many years that compiled languages were for lazy people.
didn’t journalists also fight electric typewriters? a newsroom was SUPPOSED to be noisy!

@joannastern we’re scribes cheaters compared to chiseling in stone?
maybe gutenberg was a cheater?

JValente@joannastern Another great and original video. Wonder how how those tools to detect AI text willl work. It will be a cat and the mouse game for sure.
Joseph Tesfaye@joannastern Well, I didn't expect to be disappointed by it.😂
Joe Hill 🇵🇸🇺🇦@joannastern
Nice video. I enjoyed it.

Simon Ringsmuth@joannastern Outstanding video Joanna, as usual. I got my undergraduate degree in secondary education years ago, and my college buddies and I have been discussing this exact same topic the past few weeks.
@joannastern Great video! The feeling I can't shake with AI is that it's going to do to written content what spam did to email or robocalls did to a random phone call. I used to be able to trust if I'm reading a tweet or a blog post or a book, some human took the time to compose it. And maybe they're wrong or something, but a person at least cared about it, and that feels like it justifies the time I spend reading it. In 2023 and beyond, that's no longer the case unless I first trust the author.
