Rethinking Education and AI
In this chapter, they discuss whether it is still appropriate to assign essays as a form of assessment in the age of generative AI. They explore the idea of starting with a conversation about the purpose of the class and the intent of the assignment, appealing to the decency and desire to learn of the students. They also discuss the potential of technology to discern between generated and human-written essays, suggesting methods such as comparing a baseline writing sample to the generated essay.
