An assignment example from my classroom that I did earlier this year is I think the best way to look at why I say that. The assignment was to have AI write a 500 word short story about a student selected topic. The students then had to run their 500 word short story back through the AI and have it change different parts of the story, for example, one young lady asked ChatGPT to write a 500 word story about a teenager walking their dog. The AI made the teenager a boy, so the student had the AI change it to a female teenager’s perspective. Then the teenager wanted her story to be even more personal so she changed the breed of dog. By the end of her having the AI rewrite the story five times (which was the instruction), she had a short story from the perspective of her dog, leading her (the student) on a walk. I then provided printed copies of the stories for students to then do editing and revision themselves to a story (not their own). In the above example, I would say this is the second from the top, but as the assignment called for this work to be done in this manner, the students were not cheating by doing this.
