Let's Make Friends with ChatGPT

This is a nice post built around the idea of 'making friends' with chatGPT (and presumably, other AI). " Our new friend ChatGPT is friendly, talented, and useful. It came to life from all of us and our work after years of engineering and training.... I suggest meeting ChatGPT with a beginner's mind, as only with this openness can you think and move forward together with future generation of students and AI." I agree. I add just one note about the parochialism of teaching and education. Gwen Nguyen advises "promoting new academic integrity" and "creating alternative assessment activities". My first thought was that integrity in general, not just academic integrity, is important. It's natural for educators to focus on academic integrity, but they shouldn't. The same with assessment. The emergence of AI brings with it questions about how we present ourselves in general, not just to teachers. This is what we should focus on, not just redesigning tests.
