I thought you\u2019d like to<br \/>\nknow about another situation occurring in my corner of another profession,<br \/>\nteaching. Like me, as with the other ways in which the carpet is forcibly being<br \/>\npulled from underneath us, it may make you laugh or cry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">I get much<br \/>\nof my work from an agency based in Madrid. Recently they sent out a round robin<br \/>\nemail inviting my colleagues and I to attend an online presentation of their<br \/>\nnew chatbot, which students can call whenever they want to have a conversation in<br \/>\nEnglish. I couldn\u2019t help feeling that it was like inviting the Luddites to a<br \/>\nlecture on \u2018The care and maintenance of textile machinery\u2019. Please let us demonstrate<br \/>\nthe technology that is going to make you redundant!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">I read<br \/>\nrecently about a study in Japan the found that people under 20 preferred<br \/>\nlearning from a chatbot, whereas the over 20s preferred learning from a human. Although<br \/>\nI\u2019m not a WASPI like my wife my state pension has been deferred (could I be Waspish?)<br \/>\nbut I hope that there\u2019ll be enough over-20s to keep me going for a few years<br \/>\nyet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">Another<br \/>\nchange the agency has made, also based on AI, has made me wonder if I\u2019m willing<br \/>\nto sell my soul to the devil. At the end of each term, we\u2019ve always been<br \/>\nexpected to write a report on each student\u2019s progress even though a) they don\u2019t<br \/>\npay us for the extra and considerable amount of time this takes to do so and b)<br \/>\nthe students are predominantly extremely busy executives who hardly have time<br \/>\nto attend the lessons, let alone read anything not directly work related. Indeed,<br \/>\ntwo of my favourite long-standing students have previously suggested that I<br \/>\nused ChatGPT to complete their reports. It turns out in their case it\u2019s an<br \/>\nexample of be aware of what you wish for. Possibly because the agency got fed<br \/>\nup with chasing us up to do the ####ing things and because it sounds like results<br \/>\nwere far from standardised, we now have a list of options to click on based on<br \/>\ntheir progress and then, if we wish, their AI churns out grandiose paragraphs<br \/>\nthat fill in all the gaps. Now in theory we can fill in the gaps ourselves but<br \/>\nthe click here, here and here option takes a tiny fraction of the time it takes<br \/>\nto do so. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">In the past,<br \/>\nwhen I\u2019ve been knowingly wasting my time writing these reports, I\u2019ve been constantly<br \/>\nthinking about how I could be doing something worthwhile instead, such as doing<br \/>\nsome of my own writing, which I at least hope has some use or purpose. It\u2019s for<br \/>\nthis reason friends I have chosen the click here approach for this term\u2019s<br \/>\nreports. I hope you won\u2019t consider me completely tainted and cursed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">PS I wrote<br \/>\nthis on my own! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 It seems that many of us are worried about the impact of AI and associated technologies on our craft and livelihoods, particularly as authors.
