T
he first paragraph of any
story is meant to beckon you into
reading the rest. So how should I start
this one?
I could tell you about the 14 suspi-
ciously similar papers that students
submitted to Professor James Stacey
Taylor's philosophy classes soon after
the debut of ChatGPT. Or about how
Professor Sejong Yoon checked to
see if one of the assignments in his
advanced class on artificial intelli-
gence was challenging enough by first
asking the chatbot to complete it. Or
about the syllabus that Professor John
Kuiphoff '04 asked it to write for one
of his classes in the design and
creative technology department.
Or maybe, since Kuiphoff finds
ChatGPT so useful that he always
keeps it open on his computer screen,
I could ask him to ask its opinion.
