Phillipa Wintle: HOD from New Zealand Association for the Teaching of English on AI ChatGPT essay writing

The latest sensation in artificial intelligence is being described as “fluent, clever and dangerously creative”.  Newly released AI ChatGPT can provide an entire essay, including quotes from text in just seconds- and it can do this while sounding eerily human. Phillipa Wintle from the New Zealand Association for the Teaching of English says English teachers everywhere are both impressed and concerned for what this system may do for education. The fact that this new technology can emulate humans means it has the potential to be used in schools, but Phillipa says it has to be handled carefully.
