Senior Colin Ji was told to stay after class when faculty discovered that the content for his “handwritten teacher’s day letters” were generated by ChatGPT during fourth period.
Colin denied any wrongdoing. “I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong—I’ve used AI for my assignments all year. So technically, if you’ve taught me, you’ve been interacting with my GPT. It’s an integral part of our classroom and pretty much an honorary student here. If teachers appreciate letters from other students, they should also show the same appreciation for one from AI. Stop this discrimination,” exclaimed Ji.
Secondary English teacher Ms. Loutsch simply shrugged. “Honestly, it was one of the more thoughtful and well-written letters I’ve ever received. I think ChatGPT has really grown on me this year. 10 page essays, personalized visuals, an immediate response to my emails—no one’s ever put so much effort into my class before. Maybe I should write it a letter too,” stated Ms. Loutsch.
Other teachers echo a similar sentiment. “I actually talk to my GPT Brian every day. He’s logical, charming and witty – tailored for me. Teachers need someone to vent to after a long day of work too. I feel like he cares more about my day than most of my students do,” sighed Mr. Zhao.
Amidst the controversy, ChatGPT did not respond to a request for comment.
