AI causing concern among professors at Utah Tech University – St George News

Professors at Utah Tech University are worried about AI technologies being used for classwork. Launched on Nov. 30 by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an artificially intelligent chat box that gives human-like, computer generated responses to any prompt it is given. ChatGPT, Moonbeam and Jasper are just a few websites where members can log in, input a prompt or question, and receive human-like artificially generated speech, marketing messages or even full essays. Professors are concerned that this could lead to cheating that is virtually impossible to detect, as well as a decrease in critical thinking among students. Randy Jasmine and Jim Haendiges, English professors at Utah Tech University, addressed the topic in an episode on their podcast, "Being Human UTU Podcast."
