I wish you were my professor. You seem to care more than most. I like your ideas for asking to integrate personal experiences, recent publications, and in-person assignments.❤

AI is a great tool to help students get an idea of the number and variety of topics to be covered in responding to a writing prompt. I often get excited about a specific idea but don't always fully address everything the prompt requires, and AI makes that a less daunting process. AI also helps me get over social anxiety when faced with composing a letter asking for anything --a job, admission to a program, etc. A lot of what chat GPT creates is overblown, hyperbolic writing. I certainly wouldn't submit anything it produces as is, but it can produce a structure or even a perspective for a topic I may not have considered that I may want to incorporate into whatever I'm producing. One thing it's really good at is projecting out how long a lesson plan will take and suiting a learning activity to fit a specific time frame and grade level. There are a lot of things about it that are helpful, like another reader or editor would be. It helps me move forward when I have a deadline to comply with but I'm suffering mental fatigue and don't feel I can push myself further. I get it to provide me with an outline or example of what the next step is or where I need to go to get the next information I need. What I'm trying to show here is that AI is a good tool and doesn't have to indicate cheating. I've learned what the shortcomings of AI are and I've learned to use it to overcome some of my limitations without falling prey to its limitations.
