I love ChatGPT but you have to be smart about using it. I use it to proofread papers. Everything is 100% my own work and then I copy and paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to identify the strengths and weaknesses of my writing. It’s very good about pointing out redundancy or inconsistency in an academic paper. It’ll give you pointers. Don’t ever use ChatGPT to write a paper for you. That’s not using your brain. AI isn’t good at writing papers but it is good at identifying shortcomings and ways to improve. More on reddit.com

From my expertise with it in my classroom, in general it seems that AI is great for menial synthesis, but not for anything towards mastery. That said, I do not currently see enough benefit towards introducing my students to what AI can do that would outweigh their tendency to seek the easiest, quickest, least work required solution to whatever it is they are doing. Comparing another useful tool that students already fail to use properly: the Google search. Even when taught how to do research properly using search engines, I see students constantly asking the simplest question (typing their question verbatim into the search bar without any sense of length, quality, key words, etc) only to then read the very first line of the very first result they found; and if that didn't answer their question, oh well, because that's what Google said it was. Now I know this is not all students by any means, but I recognize that if they were then to be given a tool that they can ask any question of, and get (what seems like) a fully realized answer at any length or breadth of thought, why would they ever put in the time on their own to craft their own material or have their own thoughts and reflection on a topic? ChatGPT can do that for me. I'm a bit more open to teachers using AI, but with limitation. We are the masters of our craft and should each be expected to know our material enough to render it in a handful of ways to help students understand the topic at hand. But, in this age of IEPs, accommodations, modifications, and having 6 different versions of a test or homework assignment that are each expected to be at 6 different levels of understanding, literacy, or expectation (multiplied by however many class periods we teach), AI is a great tool to help rewrite in 2 minutes what would have taken hours. The same is true for creating project outlines, rubeics, or follow along questions for a topic. I see it in the same light as "Teachers Pay Teachers", since I could just a easily go on their foe a needed study guide that I (for whatever reason) don't want to create myself. I will still look it over, edit, and massage that document before making copies for my students do that it matches my style/ curriculum/needs, because it would be silly to do otherwise. This is true of AI as well: it is useful for synthesizing nearly anything but should be checked over and edited by the teacher before it's use to verify its veracity, content, and usefulness. Just my opinions on how I handle AI in my room. I really do think it has some amazing uses and am quite excited to see where it goes from here, I just think it is too tempting for students to use it inappropriately. More on reddit.com

I've worked with ai to write several lesson plans. They all look good, but when you break them down, they've taught nothing to the students. AI is really good at brainstorming ideas, but teachers need to evaluate the quality of what they get rather than just running with it More on reddit.com
