Rather than pretend ChatGPT doesn’t exist, Dr. Francine Berman told students in her Introduction to Public Interest Technology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst this spring that they could use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool to help them write their papers, if they wanted to.
Because Berman regularly assigns work that requires a good deal of personal reflection, ChatGPT wouldn’t be able to generate complete papers for students, however, it could help with outlining and draft generation. ChatGPT might also offer editing advice or suggestions if students asked it to read their papers and provide suggestions.
