Raw LLM Responses

I left teaching in academia a few years ago, and stuff like this goes on the long list of reasons why I’m glad I did. But I’d think that using the kinds of prompts I usually did, plus a requirement that they include examples/refers to some number of texts from class readings that aren’t on the open web, or prompts that call on them to discuss non-textual materials that aren’t notable works of art, would probably suffice. I’m sure they’d still turn to ChatGPT to write part of it, but to actually produce anything that earned a decent grade, they’d still have to read it and understand it and edit it enough to incorporate the classroom readings. Which, honestly, at the undergraduate level, does the actual thing the assignment is meant to do, so close enough. It wouldn’t work on short writing assignments I used to do, but those were only ever prompts to get their thoughts in order so I could make them talk in class. Not sure how that would work outside of the humanities though.
