23. The Rise of ChatGPT

24. November, 2022 “ ChatGPT  launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022 , and garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge.” Wikipedia

25. https:// hbr.org /2022/12/ chatgpt -is-a-tipping-point-for-ai Less than two weeks ago, OpenAI released ChatGPT , a powerful new chatbot that can communicate in plain English using an updated version of its AI system. … It’s genuinely useful for a wide range of tasks, from creating software to generating business ideas to writing a wedding toast. While previous generations of the system could technically do these things, the quality of the outputs was much lower than that produced by an average human. The new model is much better, often startlingly so. December 14, 2022

32. The rush to ban AI in schools

33. Jan uary 6, 2023 https:// www.cnn.com /2023/01/05/tech/ chatgpt - nyc -school-ban/ index.html https:// www.theguardian.com /us-news/2023/ jan /06/new- york -city-schools-ban-ai-chatbot- chatgpt “The move comes amid growing concerns that the tool, which generates eerily convincing responses and even essays in response to user prompts, could make it easier for students to cheat on assignments.”

34. . https:// www.bestcolleges.com /news/schools-colleges-banned-chat- gpt -similar-ai-tools/ The most notable K-12 school districts to ban ChatGPT include the New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) and the Los Angeles Unified School District. NYCPS cited negative impacts on content safety and accuracy . "While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills , which are essential for academic and lifelong success," an NYCPS spokesperson told Chalkbeat New York.”

35. .

36. Why were/are educators concerned?

37. Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, believes the panic about AI is like the ones caused by the Internet and graphing calculators when they were first introduced, arguing: AI “is to English and to writing like the calculator is to math.” There are two options facing teachers: show their students how to use AI in a responsible way, or expect the students to abuse it.  

38. r ecent studies about educators’ concerns

39. 72% of respondents said their biggest concern about generative AI is the potential for more plagiarism and cheating

41. https:// www.edweek.org /technology/what-worries-district-tech-leaders-most-about-ai-its-not-about-teaching/2024/05 The Consortium for School Networking’s annual State of EdTech District Leadership report, released April 30, recognizes that AI has significant potential to improve education, but at the same time it poses huge cybersecurity risks for schools. 981 district tech leaders were surveyed between Jan. 10 and Feb. 29.

50. https:// www.edsurge.com /news/2022-12-21-can-anti-plagiarism-tools-detect-when-ai-chatbots-write-student-essays Plagiarism is evolving, but it can still be sussed out . Unlike human writing, which tends to be idiosyncratic, machine writing is designed to use high-probability words. It just lacks that human touch.  Essays written by chatbots are incredibly predictable. The words the machine writes are words that you expect, where you’d expect them. T his leaves a “statistical artifact” that you can test for.

51. https:// www.insidehighered.com /opinion/career-advice/teaching/2023/10/18/faculty-should-know-tools-students-use-beat-ai-detection “Students have been using text spinners —also called rewriter or paraphrase tools—for years as a means of avoiding automated plagiarism detection.”  “While those tools once primarily replaced key words with synonyms—a process Chris Sadler dubbed “ Rogeting ” - now they also restructure sentences, making the source of the original text more difficult to pinpoint.” “We urge caution and reflection about the use of AI text detection tools. Any use of them should consider their flaws and the possible effect of false accusations on students, including negative effects that may disproportionately affect marginalized groups.” Modern Language Association and the Conference on College Composition and Communication (MLA-CCCC)

53. April 1, 2024 https://www.k12dive.com/news/ai-detection-tools-student-discipline/711835/ “Teacher use of AI detection tools is ‘especially concerning given the concurrent increase in student disciplinary action,’ the CDT report said. Students from historically marginalized backgrounds, such as students with disabilities or English learners, are more susceptible to discipline involving AI plagiarism concerns.”  Center for Democracy & Technology, a civil rights nonprofit. 

54. https:// www.techlearning.com /news/7-ways-to-detect-ai-writing-without-technology By Erik Ofgang There are tell-tale signs of AI writing styles. S uspected AI use isn’t immediate grounds for disciplinary action.

55. A student who suddenly overproduces raises a red flag.

56. Excessive Use of Lists and Bullet Points

57. Paper is long, and longer than the assignment required.

58. Prose is perfect, error-free.

59. The writing doesn’t match the student’s other work.

60. About Cheating

61. . https:// www.dailymail.co.uk / sciencetech /article-11899475/Half-students-using-ChatGPT-cheat-rise-90.html

62. “Perhaps all questions centered on AI are inherently questions of ethics, and at the forefront of many teachers’ minds is cheating and plagiarism.”  https:// www.wired.com /story/how-to-tackle-ai-and-cheating-in-schools-classroom/ Students do not learn from curricular content, they learn from people. Students do not build trust and rapport with curriculum. Curriculum cannot act as role models, but teachers can.

63. “If you cheat, you are only cheating yourself.”

64. Model integrity Praise examples Reward honesty Celebrate learning Set goals

65. Steven Schwartz, Attorney https:// www.abc.net.au /news/2023-06-24/us-lawyer-uses-chatgpt-to-research-case-with-embarrassing-result/102490068 Fri 23 Jun 2023 Schwartz was fined $5,000 for submitting fake citations in a court filing.  “Unfortunately for the client, Schwartz did his legal research for the case using ChatGPT without fact checking if the cases he cited in his brief . . . were real or not.” Turns out they weren't. 

66. Fri 23 Jun 2023 "He did ask ChatGPT whether one of the cases was real but was happy enough when ChatGPT said yes.” "In fact, ChatGPT told him that they could all be found on reputable databases, and he didn't do any checking outside of the ChatGPT conversation to confirm the cases were real.” Professor Lyria Bennett Moses tells  ABC RN's Law Report . https:// www.abc.net.au /news/2023-06-24/us-lawyer-uses-chatgpt-to-research-case-with-embarrassing-result/102490068

67. After reading a few lines of one of the fake cases aloud, Judge P. Kevin Castel asked: "Can we agree that's legal gibberish?" "Schwartz stated, 'I just never could imagine that ChatGPT would fabricate cases .'   " ChatGPT has no truth filter at all. It's not a search engine. It's a text generator working on a probabilistic model. So, as another lawyer at the firm pointed out, it was a case of ignorance and carelessness, rather than bad faith." Schwartz's lack of due diligence has caused him great embarrassment, particularly as his hearing has drawn worldwide attention.

68. How can we teach with it and explore its benefits?

69. https:// www.cnn.com /2023/12/13/tech/ chatgpt -did-not-increase-cheating-in-high-schools/ index.html By Samantha Murphy Kelly A Stanford study reveals the percentage of high school students who cheat remains statistically unchanged compared to previous years without ChatGPT.

70. https:// www.cnn.com /2023/12/13/tech/ chatgpt -did-not-increase-cheating-in-high-schools/ index.html By Samantha Murphy Kelly A Stanford study reveals the percentage of high school students who cheat remains statistically unchanged compared to previous years without ChatGPT. An anonymous survey among students at 40 US high schools found about ???????? % of students have engaged in cheating behavior in the last month, a number that is the same or even decreased slightly since the debut of ChatGPT, according to the researchers.

An anonymous survey among students at 40 US high schools found about 60% to 70% of students have engaged in cheating behavior in the last month, a number that is the same or even decreased slightly since the debut of ChatGPT, according to the researchers.

Talk to them about appropriate uses . . . and get them thinking about possibilities of integrating it into their future life.” ‘If you’re hearing about it, your child heard about it two weeks ago ’”
