I took a trip down memory lane earlier this week when I recalled the first time I heard Pachelbel's "Canon in D".
Then on a whim I sauntered down AI Alley when I asked ChatGPT to write me a poem based on that incident. ChatGPT obliged with the poem on the left.
It's quite the doggerel.
Which is why I don't share the moral panic about students using it to cheat on essays and exams. From everything I've seen, ChatGPT seems to tend towards the bland and the banal. I think I'd be able to tell something was off from the odd combination of impeccable grammar and tediously repetitive sentences.
Famous last words as I head off to grade midterm essays and exams...

I heard someone create a letter on a podcast, using AI, and it was really creepy!
I also don;t care about the AI issue. Like, design better assignments?
Hmm, not exactly your style.
Nicole--right? So uncanny.
Sarah--thanks for saying that! That's what I say (in my head) when people say they're worried about students using it!
StephLove--LOL. I mean I write a lot of bad poetry, but not like this.
AI is useful for coding.
