This assignment, by Addison Eldin, is from the TextGenEd January 2024 Continuing Experiments collection in the WAC Clearinghouse Repository.
The abstract from the site explains:
This activity engages students in a conversation about text generation AI, namely ChatGPT, in order to prompt a deeper conversation about narrative. As an assignment, students engage with a storytelling engine based on ChatGPT, AI Dungeon. Then, in class, the instructor guides a conversation about the stories students experienced, the nature of the technology AI Dungeon relies on, and the ramifications such technology might have on what we consider to be narrative.
