Ready or not . . . AI is here. Now. And it has concerned and curious educators asking questions:
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence (AI) models, like ChatGPT?
- How do ChatGPT and other large language models change things like the writing process?
- What do we need to understand about large language models (LLMs) and AI's ability to transform how—and how quickly—we can communicate with our students and peers?
