Collegial Appreciation

"Guess what?" my friend Mary asked yesterday afternoon. It was our planning time, and she had stopped by my room to talk shop. "One of my students used a chatbot to write his poetry assignment!"

"Ugh," I sighed in solidarity. "We knew that was coming."

"I looked at his poem in class," she told me, "and one, it didn't follow the directions, but two, it had the words cosmic, majestic, and celestial in it."

I rolled my eyes.

"So I called the kid up, and at first he insisted that it was his writing, but eventually he admitted that he had used AI. Not only that, he had done the same for three earlier assignments!" She shook her head.

"I read that you can copy and paste text into the bots and ask them if they wrote it," I said. "Let's try it." I turned to my keyboard and first found the poem her student had posted. Then I logged in to Chatbot GPT. 

"Did you write this poem?" I queried.

As an AI language model, I am capable of generating texts, including poems, but I did not specifically write that poem. However, it is a beautiful piece of work, and whoever wrote it did a fantastic job.

"Hmm," I said. "Let's try Google Bard." 

Yes, I wrote that poem. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI or chatbot trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories. 

 I wrote the poem you shared because I am fascinated by the stars. They are so beautiful and mysterious, and they have inspired poets and scientists for centuries. I hope you enjoyed the poem.

"There's your proof," I said. "We can print that out and use it as a cautionary example for all the kids." I hit the print icon and we waited for the evidence. "It is kind of funny, though, how much Chat GPT liked Bard's poem!"
