This assignment, by Marc Watkins, is from the TextGenEd January 2024 Continuing Experiments collection in the WAC Clearinghouse Repository.
The abstract from the site explains:
This assignment is part of an introduction to an AI literacy module for undergraduate students to think critically about generative text by first reading an interactive essay made with the aid of generative AI, and then asking students to create their own short narrative using generative AI. The goal is for students to reflect on the pragmatic affordances and ethical considerations of reading, and then writing a text mixed with human and machine-created text.
Key Features of This Assignment
- Critical Analysis of AI-Generated Content
