ChatGPT: A Must-See Before the Semester Begins

I have seen friends on Facebook create decent songs and stunning artistic creations with little knowledge of music or art, all after spending a bit of time getting to know an AI art or music generator. But since the grammar assistants in my word processors often flag what is already correct and miss what I wish they should have caught, I've never felt AI writing was advancing very quickly. And then I met ChatGPT. The Facebook teaching page for my university has taken off on the topic, so I took a deep dive into what it can do. I've seen it create (in a flash) movie scripts and comic strips, sonnets and grant proposals, graduate course syllabi and lessons.
