Generative AI writing technologies
Torrey Trust, Robert W. Maloy · Edward Elgar Publishing eBooks · 2024
Generative AI writing tools, including Open AI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, have emerged as powerful and potentially transformative educational technologies. This chapter examines AI writing tools using ChatGPT as an example, discussing how they function, their benefits and risks, and how they complicate and disrupt writing. We offer implications for practitioners, including the need for a critical evaluation of writing in the era of AI writing technologies, the necessity of a critical investigation of AI writing technologies before using them, and the importance of including student voices when designing AI-specific academic integrity norms and policies.
