Amid much recent interest in the impact of generative artificial intelligence on education, one relatively underexplored issue is the extent to which instructors can use chatbots to work more efficiently. This study determined whether the challenging tasks of writing learning objectives (LOs) and writing LO-linked assessment questions can be delegated to advanced chatbots. The chatbots' outputs were often impressive yet often imperfect and thus can be useful as solid drafts that still require instructor oversight.
