I have long drawn inspiration from Austin Kleon and today was no exception. He's a fantastic curator and documenter of his sources of inspiration. In today's roundup of his week that had been, he linked to an article about Barnes & Noble's turnaround. While the piece had nothing to do with education, I suggest there are many parallels to explore - see: https://www.designedtoinspire.com/blog/parallels-between-education-and-barnes-nobles-turnaround/

As I noted yesterday, we’re clearly at a point where we need to have serious conversations about the rules (and ethics) of using AI to support the production of what we deem our “original” output. Today, I came across a few attempts to not only seek out those efforts but to outright ban them. See: https://www.designedtoinspire.com/blog/ai-cat-and-mouse/

Thoughts on these efforts? Seems like a futile game of cat and mouse to me.

Would you use this ChatGPT output? If so, how? Would you paraphrase it? Use it verbatim? How would you cite it? I often use technology to support the editing of my writing (e.g., Grammarly, Hemingway Editor, spell check, etc.), but we’re clearly at a point where we need to have serious conversations around the rules (and ethics) of using AI to support the production of what we deem our “original” output. Interesting times!
