Today I was sharing MLK’s I Have a Dream speech with my students. While they were watching the video, I used ChatGPT to confirm some key information. This is how the chat started.

Ok, #HiveMind. After yet another catastrophically awful customer service experience with Rogers, we’re ready to consider cutting the cord. Have you done it? What was it like? Any advice?

So great to see #postplagiarism being talked about in the news! #AcademicIntegrity #Plagiarism #ArtificialIntelligence
