Chat GPT, short for generative pre-trained transformer, is an artificial intelligence (AI) program that is trained on a massive amount of data, including books and website. It was developed by OpenAI, which is founded by Sam Altman. Chat GPT contains powerful algorithms that can generate content supposedly as well as trained writers within seconds, according to fortune.com.

Savage asked Baine and Koons about their experiences with Chat GPT, 鈥渢his is something hitting all 50 states, can you describe what you鈥檝e seen?鈥

鈥淚t really hit our radar around September, so I decided to test it,鈥 Koons told Savage. She said听 she gave it writing prompts and then compared several different answers Chat GPT gave her, and 鈥渢here were many similarities in the AI鈥檚 answers.鈥

Baine said, 鈥淭his is just the latest in technology advancement and we will have to find a way to utilize it, so we can maintain our academic rigor and integrity.鈥
