ABOUT GPT
Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) software is an autoregressive language model that produces human-like text. With the rise of GPT software, instructors may be concerned with students’ use of programs and services to buy AI-generated assignment submissions and responses.

With more students exploring GPT for writing assignments, many education leaders and EdTech specialists have suggested that now is the time for instructors to shift their teaching with AI in mind, or even incorporate AI into their teaching. Adjusting to this type of software may become part of continued teaching adaptation.
