You know how sometimes your students don't do the reading? And then how, when you give them a writing prompt based on it, they try to guess their way to a good answer from the everyday meaning of the words in the prompt? And how, sometimes, the outcome is spectacularly, wonderfully wrong?
Well, I don't know what else ChatGPT can do, but it can do an uncannily good imitation of such a student!
(oh, and like that student, it blew through the wordcount, apparently on the theory that a lot of words would makeup for a lack of reading)
This was a prompt from my existentialism class (the instructions also tell them they have to quote the text, but I omitted that here, because we already know ChatGPT can't do that). It's two images because I am technically incompetent to capture the longer-than-a-screen answer into one image:
