6 Matching Annotations

    1. Let’s teach students to be critical readers (and perhaps editors) of ChatGPT outputs. What mistakes (or “hallucinations”) does the bot make? What does it get right? Does it show any biases? How is its writing formulaic? How can students improve upon what they are given by AI? If AI lacks an understanding of what it’s writing, can students add the meaning?

      After reading all through this article, I am incline to recommend (not prohibit) students to not use ChatGPT to annotate a text, simply because when I prepare an annotation assignment, I want students to put their own critical thinking skills to work without the "interference" of any source. I want them to interact and engage directly with the text. With that being said, I would make recommendations to those who may wish to use it, but with the understanding they would have to vet citations and information accuracy to which students already have access through the course materials.

    2. If instructors are concerned about the line between ChatGPT and a student’s original thought, they could ask students to annotate the transcript of their conversation and note how they were helped by the AI and what they learned in the process

      Do we need to get concerned about a potential claim about privacy in regards to these conversations with the AI bot or are we early in the game to truly be concerned about it?

    3. t should be part of the digital literacy we teach our students to be thoughtful and ethical consumers of technologies like AI

      I fully agree as this type of technologies unlike others are here to stay and be developed even further and in more sophisticated way. Making this tool part of the tool bad students are able to use for coursework and assignments will grant knowledge and responsible use.

    4. The same specificity of reading and writing in context is also highly instructive for students learning to develop their skills of arguing from evidence

      This is the type of writing and / or reflection I practice in my classes with heavy reading load involved.<br />

    5. While ChatGPT offers impressive affordances in terms of modulating the style of its written outputs, it cannot imitate an individual student’s voice.

      Most certainly, this is the feature of Hypothesis I like the most: the fact students can find their own voices, their critical thinking voice when reflecting upon a text, regardless of its nature and discipline.

    6. Rather than being faced with an intimidating blinking cursor on a blank page, students have their own material to draw from for a final paper.

      This is a very good idea. Writing can be intimidating no matter how long the text to write. A paragraph long response can be as intimidating as a 3-page paper.
