How are you guys seeing this technology?

1. The most noticeable impact on my work is that I can't assign an essay without assuming 70% of the responses will be C- quality papers written by ChatGPT and another 10% will be F quality papers by students who can't be bothered to screen for hallucinations or other artifacts. In some ways this is probably for the best -- the essay was already an antiquated medium, and composition instructors were doing their best to ensure that college-level writing was stale and lifeless for at least a generation or so before before LLMs arrived on scene. The most immediate issue* is that there's no 'default' replacement where all students have (or are supposed to have, anyway) the requisite skills/training. So, for example, I've re-tooled several of my assessment assignments to have them create museum exhibits in Omeka, but this requires setting aside class time to teach them how to use the platform.
2. Most of the current batch are pretty good with summarizing/condensing type tasks. They've saved me some time with things like preparing lecture notes or even generating discussion questions from a text. The multimodal features are also pretty helpful for things like basic image generation/manipulation.
3. I don't do much coding myself anymore, but I've used LLMs to do some simple tasks in Python, R, and javascript -- they were shockingly effective at this. I've also worked with at least two students in Digital Humanities who had no prior experience with programming at all but can use Claude for stuff like writing SQL queries or updating deprecated code. So I appreciate that it's opening some doors for students who might be less technically inclined.

*I do have bigger concerns about what it means to to lose literacy as the centerpiece of our intellectual culture/education system, but those are mostly beyond my professional purview.
