How ChatGPT (and other AI chatbots) can help you write an essay

ChatGPT  is capable of doing many different things very well, with one of the biggest standout features being its ability to compose all sorts of text within seconds, including songs, poems, bedtime stories, and essays . 

The chatbot's writing abilities are not only fun to experiment with, but can help provide assistance with everyday tasks. Whether you are a student, a working professional, or just getting stuff done, we constantly take time out of our day to compose emails, texts, posts, and more. ChatGPT can help you claim some of that time back by helping you brainstorm and then compose any text you need. 

How to use ChatGPT to write: Code | Excel formulas | Resumes  | Cover letters  

Contrary to popular belief, ChatGPT can do much more than just write an essay for you from scratch (which would be considered plagiarism). A more useful way to use the chatbot is to have it guide your writing process. 

Below, we show you how to use ChatGPT to do both the writing and assisting, as well as some other helpful writing tips. 

How ChatGPT can help you write an essay

If you are looking to use ChatGPT to support or replace your writing, here are five different techniques to explore. 

It is also worth noting before you get started that other AI chatbots can output the same results as ChatGPT or are even better, depending on your needs.

Also: The best AI chatbots of 2024: ChatGPT and alternatives

For example,  Copilot  has access to the internet, and as a result, it can source its answers from recent information and current events. Copilot also includes footnotes linking back to the original source for all of its responses, making the chatbot a more valuable tool if you're writing a paper on a more recent event, or if you want to verify your sources.

Regardless of which AI chatbot you pick, you can use the tips below to get the most out of your prompts and from AI assistance.

1. Use ChatGPT to generate essay ideas

Before you can even get started writing an essay, you need to flesh out the idea. When professors assign essays, they generally give students a prompt that gives them leeway for their own self-expression and analysis. 

As a result, students have the task of finding the angle to approach the essay on their own. If you have written an essay recently, you know that finding the angle is often the trickiest part -- and this is where ChatGPT can help. 

Also: ChatGPT vs. Copilot: Which AI chatbot is better for you?

All you need to do is input the assignment topic, include as much detail as you'd like -- such as what you're thinking about covering -- and let ChatGPT do the rest. For example, based on a paper prompt I had in college, I asked:

Can you help me come up with a topic idea for this assignment, "You will write a research paper or case study on a leadership topic of your choice." I would like it to include Blake and Mouton's Managerial Leadership Grid, and possibly a historical figure. 

Also: I'm a ChatGPT pro but this quick course taught me new tricks, and you can take it for free

Within seconds, the chatbot produced a response that provided me with the title of the essay, options of historical figures I could focus my article on, and insight on what information I could include in my paper, with specific examples of a case study I could use. 

2. Use the chatbot to create an outline

Once you have a solid topic, it's time to start brainstorming what you actually want to include in the essay. To facilitate the writing process, I always create an outline, including all the different points I want to touch upon in my essay. However, the outline-writing process is usually tedious. 

With ChatGPT, all you have to do is ask it to write the outline for you. 

Also: Thanks to my 5 favorite AI tools, I'm working smarter now

Using the topic that ChatGPT helped me generate in step one, I asked the chatbot to write me an outline by saying: 

Can you create an outline for a paper, "Examining the Leadership Style of Winston Churchill through Blake and Mouton's Managerial Leadership Grid."

After a couple of seconds, the chatbot produced a holistic outline divided into seven different sections, with three different points under each section. 

This outline is thorough and can be condensed for a shorter essay or elaborated on for a longer paper. If you don't like something or want to tweak the outline further, you can do so either manually or with more instructions to ChatGPT. 

As mentioned before, since Copilot is connected to the internet, if you use Copilot to produce the outline, it will even include links and sources throughout, further expediting your essay-writing process. 

3. Use ChatGPT to find sources

Now that you know exactly what you want to write, it's time to find reputable sources to get your information. If you don't know where to start, you can just ask ChatGPT. 

Also: How to make ChatGPT provide sources and citations

All you need to do is ask the AI to find sources for your essay topic. For example, I asked the following: 

Can you help me find sources for a paper, "Examining the Leadership Style of Winston Churchill through Blake and Mouton's Managerial Leadership Grid."

The chatbot output seven sources, with a bullet point for each that explained what the source was and why it could be useful. 

Also:   How to use ChatGPT to make charts and tables

The one caveat you will want to be aware of when using ChatGPT for sources is that it does not have access to information after 2021, so it will not be able to suggest the freshest sources. If you want up-to-date information, you can always use Copilot. 

Another perk of using Copilot is that it automatically links to sources in its answers. 

4. Use ChatGPT to write an essay

It is worth noting that if you take the text directly from the chatbot and submit it, your work could be considered a form of plagiarism since it is not your original work. As with any information taken from another source, text generated by an AI should be clearly identified and credited in your work.

Also: ChatGPT will now remember its past conversations with you (if you want it to)

In most educational institutions, the penalties for plagiarism are severe, ranging from a failing grade to expulsion from the school. A better use of ChatGPT's writing features would be to use it to create a sample essay to guide your writing. 

If you still want ChatGPT to create an essay from scratch, enter the topic and the desired length, and then watch what it generates. For example, I input the following text: 

Can you write a five-paragraph essay on the topic, "Examining the Leadership Style of Winston Churchill through Blake and Mouton's Managerial Leadership Grid."

Within seconds, the chatbot gave the exact output I required: a coherent, five-paragraph essay on the topic. You could then use that text to guide your own writing. 

Also: ChatGPT vs. Microsoft Copilot vs. Gemini: Which is the best AI chatbot?

At this point, it's worth remembering how tools like ChatGPT work : they put words together in a form that they think is statistically valid, but they don't know if what they are saying is true or accurate. 

As a result, the output you receive might include invented facts, details, or other oddities. The output might be a useful starting point for your own work, but don't expect it to be entirely accurate, and always double-check the content. 

5. Use ChatGPT to co-edit your essay

Once you've written your own essay, you can use ChatGPT's advanced writing capabilities to edit the piece for you. 

You can simply tell the chatbot what you want it to edit. For example, I asked ChatGPT to edit our five-paragraph essay for structure and grammar, but other options could have included flow, tone, and more. 

Also: AI meets AR as ChatGPT is now available on the Apple Vision Pro

Once you ask the tool to edit your essay, it will prompt you to paste your text into the chatbot. ChatGPT will then output your essay with corrections made. This feature is particularly useful because ChatGPT edits your essay more thoroughly than a basic proofreading tool, as it goes beyond simply checking spelling. 

You can also co-edit with the chatbot, asking it to take a look at a specific paragraph or sentence, and asking it to rewrite or fix the text for clarity. Personally, I find this feature very helpful.

The best AI writing generators

These 7 ai writing tools will take your content to the next level..

I've been covering this kind of generative AI technology for almost a decade. Since AI is supposedly trying to take my job, I'm somewhat professionally interested in the whole situation. Still, I think I'm pretty safe for now. These AI writing tools are getting incredibly impressive, but you have to work with them, rather than just letting them spit out whatever they want.

So, if you're looking for an AI content generator that will help you write compelling copy, publish blog posts a lot quicker, and otherwise take some of the slow-paced typing out of writing, you've come to the right place. Let's dig in. 

The best AI writing software

How do ai writing tools work, what makes the best ai text generator, how we evaluate and test apps.

As I was testing these apps, here's what else I was looking for:

Tools powered by GPT or a similar large language model with well-documented efficacy. In practice, this means that most but not all of the AI writing tools on this list use GPT to a greater or lesser degree. Many apps are starting to hide what models they use and claim to have a lot of secret sauce built on top (because there's a marketing advantage in being different and more powerful), but the reality is that nine times out of ten, it's the GPT API that's doing the heavy lifting.

An interface that gives you a lot of control over the text output. The more options you have to influence the tone, style, language, content, and everything else, the better. I didn't want tools where you just entered a headline and let the AI do the rest; these are all tools that you collaborate with, so you can write great copy quickly. The best AI writing tools also let you set a default brand voice that's always on.

Ease of use. You shouldn't have to fight to get the AI to do what you want. With AI writing software like this, there will always be some redoing and reshaping to get the exact output you want, but working with the AI shouldn't feel like wrangling a loose horse. Similarly, great help docs and good onboarding were both a major plus. 

Even with these criteria, I had more than 40 different AI writing tools to test. Remember: it's relatively easy for a skilled developer to build a wrapper around the GPT API, so I had to dig deep into each one to find out if it was any good or just had a flashy marketing site.

I tested each app by getting it to write a number of different short- and long-form bits of copy, but as expected, there were very few meaningful quality differences. Instead, it was the overall user experience, depth of features, and affordability that determined whether an app made this list.

Jasper pros:

One of the most mature and feature-filled options on the list 

Integrates with Grammarly, Surfer, and its own AI art generator

Jasper cons:

Expensive given that all the apps use similar language models 

Jasper (formerly Jarvis) is one of the most feature-filled and powerful AI content generators. It was among the first wave of apps built on top of GPT, and its relative longevity means that it feels like a more mature tool than most of the other apps I tested. It's continued to grow and develop in the months since I first compiled this list.

Jasper has also moved away from just being a GPT app. It claims to combine "several large language models" including GPT-4, Claude 2, and PaLM 2, so that "you get the highest quality outputs and superior uptime." While I can't say that I noticed a massive difference between Jasper's output and any other app's, it does give you a few solid controls so that your content matches your brand. 

You can create a brand Voice and Tone by uploading some appropriate sample text. Based on a few examples of my writing, Jasper created a style that "emphasizes a casual, conversational tone with humor, personal anecdotes, listicles, informal language, expertise in various subjects, and a call to action for an engaging and approachable brand voice." I don't think that's a bad summary of the content I fed in, and its output for a few test blog posts like "The Enduring Popularity of Top Gun" felt closer to my writing than when I asked it to use a generic casual tone of voice. Similarly, there's a Knowledge Base where you can add facts about your business and products so Jasper gets important details right. 

While other apps also offer similar features, Jasper's seemed to work better and are fully integrated with the rest of the app. For example, you can create entire marketing campaigns using your custom brand voice. Put a bit of work into fine-tuning it and uploading the right assets to your knowledge base, and I suspect that Jasper really could create some solid first drafts of marketing materials like blog outlines, social media campaign ads, and the like.

Create product descriptions in Jasper from new or updated Airtable records

Jasper pricing: Creator plan from $49/month with one brand voice and 50 knowledge assets. Teams plan starts at $125/month for three seats, three brand voices, and 150 knowledge assets.

Copy.ai pros:

Has an affordable unlimited plan for high-volume users 

Workflow actively solicits your input, which can lead to higher quality content 

Copy.ai cons:

Expensive if you don't produce a lot of content

Pretty much anything Jasper can do, Copy.ai can do too. It has brand voices, an infobase, a chatbot, and team features (though there isn't a browser extension). Consider it the Burger King to Jasper's McDonalds.

The other big difference is the pricing. While both offer plans for $49/month, Copy.ai includes five user seats and unlimited brand voices. For a small team working with multiple brands, it can be a lot cheaper. Also, if you're looking for a free AI writing generator, Copy.ai also offers a free plan that includes 2,000 words per month.

Anyword pros:

Makes it very easy for you to include specific details, SEO keywords, and other important information 

Engagement scores and other metrics are surprisingly accurate

Anyword cons:

Can be slower to use

Pretty expensive for a more limited set of features than some of the other apps on this list

While you can direct the AI to include certain details and mention specific facts for every app on this list, none make it as easy as Anyword. More than any of the others, the AI here feels like an eager and moderately competent underling that requires a bit of micromanaging (and can also try to mimic your writing style and brand voice), rather than a beast that you have to tame with arcane prompts. 

Take one of its main content-generating tools: the Blog Wizard. Like with Copy.ai, the setup process requires you to describe the blog post you want the AI to create and add any SEO keywords you want to target. Anyword then generates a range of titles for you to choose from, along with a predicted engagement score. 

Once you've chosen a title—or written your own—it generates a suggested outline. Approve it, and you get the option for it to create an entire ~2,000-word blog post (boo!) or a blank document where you can prompt it with additional instructions for each section of the outline, telling it things like what facts to mention, what style to take, and what details to cover. There's also a chatbot-like research sidebar that you can ask questions of and solicit input from. While certainly a slower process than most apps, it gives you a serious amount of control over the content you're creating.

Anyword is definitely aimed at marketers, and its other tools—like the Data-Driven Editor and the Website Targeted Message—all allow you to target your content toward specific audiences and give things engagement scores. While I certainly can't confirm the validity of any of these scores, they at least pass the sniff test. I generally thought the AI-generated content that Anyword scored higher was better—and even when I disagreed, I still liked one of the top options. 

Anyword pricing: Starter plan from $49/month for 1 user and 1 brand voice.

Sudowrite pros:

The only AI tool on the list explicitly aimed at writing fiction 

Super fun to use if you've ever wanted to play around with fiction 

Sudowrite cons:

It's still an AI text generator, so it can produce nonsensical metaphors, clichéd plots, incoherent action, and has a short memory for details 

Very controversial in fiction writing circles

Let's start with Describe. Select a word or phrase, click Describe , and the AI will generate a few suggestions for the sight, smell, taste, sound, and touch of the thing, as well as a couple of metaphors. If you're the kind of writer who struggles to add sensory depth to your short stories, it can help you get into the habit of describing things in more interesting ways.

Then there's Brainstorm. It allows you to use the AI to generate possible dialogue options, character names and traits, plot points, places, and other details about your world from your descriptions and cues. If you know you want a big hairy guy with a huge sword but can't think of a good name, it can suggest a few, like Thorgrim and Bohart.

And these are just scratching the surface. Sure, if you over-rely on the AI to solve all your problems, you'll probably end up with an impressively generic story. But if you use it as a writing buddy to bounce ideas off and get you out of a rut, it's got serious potential. 

Best of all, Sudowrite is super easy to use. The onboarding, tool tips, and general helpful vibe of the app are something other developers could learn from. 

Sudowrite pricing: Hobby & Student plan from $19/month for 30,000 AI words/month.

Writer pros:

Not based on GPT, so free of a lot of the controversy surrounding LLMs

Surprisingly capable as an editor, making sure your team sticks to the style guide and doesn't make any wild claims

Writer cons:

Requires a lot more setup to get the most from

For most people, this is a nebulous situation filled with edge cases and gray areas. Realistically, it's going to be years before it's all sorted out, and even then, things will have moved on so far that the results of any lawsuit are likely to be redundant. But for businesses that want to use AI writing tools without controversy attached, GPT is a no-go—and will be for the foreseeable future. 

Feature-wise, Writer is much the same as any of my top picks. (Though creating a specific brand voice that's automatically used is an Enterprise-only feature; otherwise, you have to use a lot of checkboxes in the settings to set the tone.) Some features, like the chatbot, are a little less useful than they are in the GPT-powered apps, but really, they're not why you'd choose Writer.

In addition to generating text, Writer can work as a company-specific Grammarly-like editor, keeping on top of legal compliance, ensuring you don't make any unsupported claims, and checking that everything matches your style guide—even when humans are writing the text. As someone who routinely has to follow style guides, this seems like an incredibly useful feature. I wasn't able to test it fully since I don't have a personal style guide to input, but Writer correctly fixed things based on all the rules that I set.

In side-by-side comparisons, Writer's text generations sometimes felt a little weaker than the ones from Jasper or Copy.ai, but I suspect a lot of that was down to how things were configured. Writer is designed as a tool for companies to set up and train with their own data, not run right out of the box. I'd guess my random blog posts were a poor test of how it should be used in the real world.

Writesonic pros:

Allows you to select what GPT model is used to generate text 

Generous free plan and affordable paid plans 

Writesonic cons:

A touch too focused on SEO content for my taste

While almost all the tools on this list use GPT, most are pretty vague about which particular version of it they use at any given time. This matters because the most basic version of the GPT-3.5 Turbo API costs $0.002/1K tokens (roughly 750 words), while GPT-4 starts at $0.06/1K tokens, and the most powerful version costs $0.12/1K tokens. All this suggests that most apps may not use GPT-4 in all circumstances, and instead probably rely on one of the more modest (though still great) GPT-3 models for most text generation. 

Whether the content you create will benefit from the extra power of GPT-4 or not depends. In my experience using GPT-4 through ChatGPT, the latest model is more accurate and, essentially, more sensible in how it responds. If you're churning out low-stakes copy variations for your product listings, you likely won't see much improvement. On the other hand, for long-form original blog posts, it could make a difference. Either way, the transparency in which model you're using at any given time is a huge bonus.

A solid free plan and a cheap high-volume plan (though Writesonic offers better value for an unlimited plan)

It includes a basic AI art generator as part of every plan 

The app is more basic than more expensive offerings

Unlimited plan isn't very competitive

Most of the apps on this list are aimed at professionals, businesses, and anyone else with a budget. The Jasper, Copy.ai, and Anyword plans I considered all started at $49/month. That isn't exactly a hobbyist-friendly sum of money, so if you want to explore AI text generators without spending as much, give Rytr a go.

There's a free plan that's good for 10,000 characters (around 2,500 words) per month, and it includes a lot of the features, like a plagiarism checker, and a few AI-generated images. The Saver plan starts at $9/month and allows you to generate 100,000 characters (around 25,000 words) per month. On that plan, you're also able to generate up to 20 images a month, which many other apps charge extra for. (There's also an unlimited plan for $29/month, but at that point, Writesonic is a better value.)

Feature-wise, there are some trade-offs. Rytr is a little less competent at generating long-form content without you guiding it through the process, and there are fewer templates for specific things. The interface also isn't as polished, and there isn't as much hand-holding to get you started. Still, as Rytr is using GPT like almost all the other apps on this list, you should be able to get it to produce substantially similar output.

Rytr Pricing: Free plan for 10,000 characters/month and lots of other features; Saver plan from $9/month for 100,000 characters; Unlimited plan from $29/month.

Other AI writing tools to consider

With so many AI text-generating tools out there, a few good ones worth considering didn't make this list, only because they didn't meet my initial criteria in some way. If none of the AI writers I chose fit the bill for you, here are a few other options worth looking into:

All of the apps on this list offer at the very least a free trial, so I'd suggest trying some of them out for a few minutes until you find the one that seems to work best with your workflow.

AI bot ChatGPT writes smart essays — should professors worry?

• Chris Stokel-Walker

You can also search for this author in PubMed   Google Scholar

Between overwork, underpayment and the pressure to publish, academics have plenty to worry about. Now there’s a fresh concern: ChatGPT , an artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot that creates surprisingly intelligent-sounding text in response to user prompts, including homework assignments and exam-style questions. The replies are so lucid, well-researched and decently referenced that some academics are calling the bot the death knell for conventional forms of educational assessment. How worried should professors and lecturers be?

Bot or Not? Lessons on Using AI in the Classroom

• Through prompt engineering exercises, students discover how to craft the types of questions that will return helpful answers.
• Non-native speakers benefit from AI tools that enable them to communicate more clearly and confidently.
• Students learn that today’s technology can still be limited, unethical, biased—or simply wrong.

  Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are playing an increasingly prominent role in both the classroom and the workplace. Such tools include large language models (LLMs), which learn from and generate text, as well as robotic process automation tools such as UiPath , Appian , and MuleSoft .

Most universities are exploring the best ways to take advantage of these powerful new technologies. For instance, several years ago, one school used AI to create an experimental teaching assistant that provided automated responses to hundreds of basic questions that students posted about coursework in an online forum—and the students couldn’t even tell they weren’t interacting with a human TA.

Because so many students, faculty, and staff are already using AI tools, it’s essential for institutions of higher learning to develop parameters for what constitutes acceptable usages on their campuses. At Baruch College of the City University of New York, we recently drafted guidelines specifying that students can use generative AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT , Microsoft’s Copilot , or Google’s Gemini . However, such usage is only allowed when the instructor permits it, when students cite AI as a source, and when students show exactly how they used the technology.

At Baruch’s Zicklin School of Business, we know that if students learn to use AI in the classroom, they will have a better chance of knowing how to leverage it in the workplace. Here, four Zicklin instructors share their insights about what AI can do, how it can be used, and what limitations still exist.

AI Helps Students Think Critically

Yafit Lev-Aretz, an assistant professor in the Zicklin School’s law department, gives students opportunities to experiment with GenAI in her undergraduate business law class. During a recent take-home midterm exam, Lev-Aretz posed a question, then provided an answer that had been generated by AI. By itself, she estimated, that answer would score 60 out of a possible 100 points.

Lev-Aretz had students devise more precise prompts that would return more detailed answers and earn better grades. “I did not ask to see their prompts or provide feedback on them,” she explains. “My goal was simply to encourage them to use this tool, which I think can be extremely helpful in their thinking and writing process.”

She adds, “This engagement and willingness to experiment are precisely the learning outcomes I aim to foster.”

AI Can Be a Source of Information…

AI can quickly provide supplemental knowledge on an almost limitless number of topics, as Curtis Izen tells students in his undergraduate computer information systems honors course. Izen is a senior information specialist in Baruch’s Computing and Technology Center and an adjunct lecturer in the Paul H. Chook Department of Information Systems and Statistics.

AI can quickly provide supplemental knowledge on an almost limitless number of topics, as Curtis Izen tells his undergraduate students.

“For example, if students don’t know about database management systems, they can ask ChatGPT to explain what a database management system is and provide some examples,” he says.

Instructors might find GenAI equally useful, Izen notes, especially when they’re creating course materials. “They can feed it a paragraph of information and ask it to generate questions,” he says. “It can also change the type of question—say, from a multiple-choice question to a fill-in-the-blank one, or an open-ended question.” It can even help write syllabi, he adds.

…But Only With The Right Prompting

AI can help users reduce gaps in their knowledge— if they know how to use it properly, says Danny Park, an adjunct lecturer in the Chook department. Before students begin his graduate course on business analytics and artificial intelligence, Park provides them with a list of prompts they can feed to ChatGPT to bone up on certain topics.

He hand-feeds them the prompts to show them that only properly crafted questions will return helpful answers. Unless users are effective at prompt engineering, Park explains, they might find themselves illustrating the truth of the old programming mantra of “garbage in, garbage out.”

Prompt engineering is also a key part of the marketing analytics MBA courses taught by Joshua Moritz, a lecturer in the Allen G. Aaronson Department of Marketing and International Business.

“Because AI is pretty new, we need to learn how to ‘train’ AI to avoid generating bad results,” Moritz says. “So, students need a stable, accurate benchmark to know if their answers are going to be right or wrong.”

To that end, Moritz first has students use Microsoft Excel to solve a basic statistical problem—say, creating a linear regression from raw data points. Next, students feed the same data into ChatGPT, making requests and asking questions to see if they can generate the same results as they did in Excel. Students keep tweaking the prompts until the ChatGPT answer matches the Excel answer, which Moritz refers to as “the truth.” Once students get the prompts right, they can save them and use them repeatedly to solve the same simple statistical problems.

“Because AI is pretty new, we need to learn how to ‘train’ AI to avoid generating bad results.”—Joshua Moritz

For this exercise to work, each student must pay a monthly 20 USD fee for the 4.0 edition of ChatGPT, because the free version doesn’t do statistical analysis. “Students can’t share accounts because people write and speak differently. Sometimes small differences such as using ‘the’ versus ‘a’ or making a change in punctuation can generate different answers, believe it or not,” Moritz says.

Even when the prompts are exactly the same, ChatGPT sometimes generates a slightly different and therefore incorrect answer, Moritz says. “I am not clear why this happens,” he admits. “The technology is improving, but it’s not 100 percent. If this were medicine or cybersecurity, getting one answer wrong out of a hundred would not be OK. But this is marketing—you might lose money, but no one will die.”

AI Aids Non-Native Speakers

One advantage of allowing students to use AI during assignments, says Lev-Aretz, is that it reduces language barriers for those who are not native English speakers. That’s a critical consideration for a school like Baruch, whose students hail from more than 150 countries and speak more than 100 languages.

Izen agrees. For some course assignments, he has students record comments asynchronously through voiced-based tools such as the commercial product VoiceThread . (A similar product, Vocat , is an open-source option that was developed at Baruch.) He has found that his students’ public speaking skills improve the more they use the tool.

“Some of my students’ communication was so poor that if I called on them in class, they wouldn’t answer, or they’d mumble and speak so softly I couldn’t understand them,” Izen says. “But now that I’ve been using VoiceThread for several years, I notice that their verbal communication and confidence improve by the end of each course.”

But There Are Downsides

While AI offers enormous benefits to students, it also carries potential risks. One is that it could interfere with the learning process if students use it to complete homework assignments instead of doing the work themselves. Therefore, instructors need to devise strategies to mitigate the possibility that students are merely plagiarizing from AI.

That’s one reason Izen uses VoiceThread in his classrooms. After students make video or voice recordings, they share the files on the learning management system, where VoiceThread is integrated.

Because students must provide answers in their own words and post their sources in text comments, Izen can use these recordings to check whether his students are grasping the basic concepts they might have asked AI to explain. If they are describing their efforts with algorithms or computer programs, students must verbally explain their codes or formulas for their submitted assignments.

AI Cannot Be Blindly Trusted

In addition, AI poses legal and ethical risks, which means that neither students nor business leaders can simply accept the answers AI tools provide. Baruch instructors make certain students are aware of four risks in particular.

1. AI is limited in what it can do. Park notes that many users seem to ignore the word “artificial” in the phrase “artificial intelligence”—they start to believe AI is superior to human ingenuity, creativity, and wisdom. But he points out that, unlike humans, LLMs cannot provide value that is greater than the quality of the material they were trained on.

“People use ChatGPT as if it were a search engine, but in most cases, they’d be better off just using Google instead.”—Danny Park

2. Legal issues abound. It is not always clear exactly how generative AI products have been trained. In an interview published by The Wall Street Journal in April 2024, OpenAI’s chief technology officer claimed she didn’t know how Sora, the company’s text-to-video generator, had been taught. In a subsequent interview with Bloomberg, YouTube’s CEO said that if Sora had been trained on YouTube, that would violate his company’s terms of service.

Meanwhile, a slew of newspaper publishers, from The New York Times to the Chicago Tribune to California’s Orange County Register, are suing Microsoft and OpenAI for reusing their articles without permission.

Similarly, actress Scarlett Johansson might take legal action against OpenAI for creating a ChatGPT voice that sounds like the character she created in the 2013 film “Her”—even after Johansson had declined the offer to voice the AI assistant herself.

3. AI perpetuates harmful biases. Facial recognition technology has been accused of discrimination against Black and brown people. Ask Freepik —an image bank website that includes an AI image generator—to create a photo of a CEO, and you’ll get nothing but images of white men. A query for an image of a nurse gives you white women only.

4. AI is simply wrong sometimes. Recently, Google had to disable its Gemini text-to-image feature because it generated historically inaccurate images of popes who were female and American Founding Fathers who were Black.

“People use ChatGPT as if it were a search engine, but in most cases, they’d be better off just using Google instead,” Park comments. He adds that his teenage son once failed a math quiz because he plugged the questions into a chatbot, which produced incorrect results, and his son didn’t check the answers.

AI Is Part of the Future

Despite the challenges it presents, AI will be an integral part of tomorrow’s workplace. That’s why the Zicklin School has gone beyond integrating AI into the classroom. We’ve also developed programs—including an undergraduate AI minor and a graduate-level AI certificate—that are designed to help students leverage technology once they’re on the job. Because AI potentially impacts all business disciplines, we collaborate extensively with philosophy professor Elizabeth Edenberg, an expert on technology and ethics, as we develop these programs.

Armed with this information, our graduates will know how to use AI tools in ways that are effective, useful, ethical, and trustworthy—which will give them and their companies a competitive advantage.

In addition, AI poses legal and ethical risks, which means that neither students nor business leaders can simply accept the answers AI tools provide. Baruch instructors make certain students are aware of four risks in particular.

1. AI is limited in what it can do. Park notes that many users seem to ignore the word “artificial” in the phrase “artificial intelligence”—they start to believe AI is superior to human ingenuity, creativity, and wisdom. But he points out that, unlike humans, LLMs cannot provide value that is greater than the quality of the material they were trained on.

2. Legal issues abound. It is not always clear exactly how generative AI products have been trained. In an interview published by The Wall Street Journal in April 2024, OpenAI’s chief technology officer claimed she didn’t know how Sora, the company’s text-to-video generator, had been taught. In a subsequent interview with Bloomberg, YouTube’s CEO said that if Sora had been trained on YouTube, that would violate his company’s terms of service.

Meanwhile, a slew of newspaper publishers, from The New York Times to the Chicago Tribune to California’s Orange County Register, are suing Microsoft and OpenAI for reusing their articles without permission.

Similarly, actress Scarlett Johansson might take legal action against OpenAI for creating a ChatGPT voice that sounds like the character she created in the 2013 film “Her”—even after Johansson had declined the offer to voice the AI assistant herself.

3. AI perpetuates harmful biases. Facial recognition technology has been accused of discrimination against Black and brown people. Ask Freepik —an image bank website that includes an AI image generator—to create a photo of a CEO, and you’ll get nothing but images of white men. A query for an image of a nurse gives you white women only.

4. AI is simply wrong sometimes. Recently, Google had to disable its Gemini text-to-image feature because it generated historically inaccurate images of popes who were female and American Founding Fathers who were Black.

“People use ChatGPT as if it were a search engine, but in most cases, they’d be better off just using Google instead,” Park comments. He adds that his teenage son once failed a math quiz because he plugged the questions into a chatbot, which produced incorrect results, and his son didn’t check the answers.

AI Is Part of the Future

Despite the challenges it presents, AI will be an integral part of tomorrow’s workplace. That’s why the Zicklin School has gone beyond integrating AI into the classroom. We’ve also developed programs—including an undergraduate AI minor and a graduate-level AI certificate—that are designed to help students leverage technology once they’re on the job. Because AI potentially impacts all business disciplines, we collaborate extensively with philosophy professor Elizabeth Edenberg, an expert on technology and ethics, as we develop these programs.

Armed with this information, our graduates will know how to use AI tools in ways that are effective, useful, ethical, and trustworthy—which will give them and their companies a competitive advantage.
