In the Coming Weeks, How to Respond to Generative AI

I was amazed last August, when I first asked GPT-3 to write a sample article about the impact of GPT on higher education. It responded with an accurate, cogent 700-word piece in just seconds. I wrote then that "higher ed will never be the same!" However, the models and interfaces continued to improve with the GPT-3.5 and ChatGPT. We have now embarked on an ever-accelerating improvement of the technology, fueled by tens of billions of dollars of investment and a hot competition--most notably between Microsoft/Bing and Alphabet/Google.
