No doubt this one is going to be on slide presentations for years to come. "An academic paper entitled 'Chatting and Cheating: Ensuring Academic Integrity in the Era of ChatGPT' was published this month in an education journal, describing how artificial intelligence (AI) tools 'raise a number of challenges and concerns, particularly in relation to academic honesty and plagiarism'. What readers – and indeed the peer reviewers who cleared it for publication – did not know was that the paper itself had been written by the controversial AI chatbot ChatGPT." The Guardian article only links to a ResearchGate copy but it can still be found in Innovations in Education and Teaching International. Though the journal itself was "tipped off", "the four academics who peer-reviewed it assumed it was written by these three scholars." And why wouldn't they? From where I sit, this is an experiment with human subjects (the four reviewers) conducted without prior consent, which seems pretty unethical to me. I feel for the reviewers.
