November 30, 2022 saw the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in the United States, a language model trained to follow instructions and provide detailed responses. Its success was immediate as more than one million people used it in the first five days. ChatGPT’s made its way into academia in the final weeks of the Fall 2022 semester, as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education. OpenAI has since then updated the model several times to now include generative properties, presenting a further creative disruption to learning. A myriad of educational consultants and teaching centers began to offer webinars and workshops about innovative ways to incorporate AI into university curricula to enhance the teaching and learning experience, especially in a virtual format. In this paper, I present how I incorporated ChatGPT into an assignment to encourage ethical use of the technology and expand students’ creativity and critical thinking. This was accomplished by teaching students to input prompts and adjust seed text to explore the capabilities of the tool and generate different outputs. We then evaluated all AI-generated content and compared it to human-authored articles on the same topic to critically evaluate the benefits, weaknesses and challenges encountered during the assignment.
