Artificial Intelligence
Chat GPT (#1)
Get ready educators, people, the end has come
Dialogue
I don’t know about you but I am not afraid of Chat GPT. He/she walked by my house the other evening and I bombed her/him with eggs.
Lot of wasted yoke but I bet they/them will stay off my block. I have even concluded that missing a few egg sandwiches this week is worth it.
A friend of mine the other day said — what is Chat GPT?
And I just cut on “2001 Space Odyssey” and told them to watch. I said I will be back. I am going to go get some Asian food from down the street. Several orders of pho, sushi, and some basil and ginger eggplant.

What are we going to do? We are teachers. We know our students are already using this. We must change the way we teach. We have to figure it out. We can’t let a bunch of robots change our lives.
Really?
You have any better ideas?
Nope.
Reality
Actually, where I teach now they provided us already with detection applications that exposes the students who are likely using Chat GPT to write their work. The only issue with that is if the overall goal is for the world’s businesses and industries to use Chat-GPT to do the work of humans, how long before it is determined that humans are no longer needed to do any of this work?
Why are human beings doing this and not preparing for a world where artificial intelligence does, in fact, make life easier. It is not as…
