The dawn of AI has come

The release of OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot has given us a glimpse into the future of teaching and learning alongside artificial intelligence. Educators immediately pointed out the chatbot's ability to generate meaningful responses to questions from assessments and exams. And it is often not possible to attribute these responses to a particular source – making it difficult to detect plagiarism. Shortly after ChatGPT's release, OpenAI announced that it was developing a "digital watermark" to embed into the chatbot's responses. This kind of watermark is embedded as a digital signal that can identify the content as being AI-generated and which (in theory) should be difficult to remove.
