Could this ChatGPT feature be helpful for educators (and students)?

I'm curious to try this! It seems like it might help support learning rather than providing answers. And maybe collaboratively??

ChatGPT wants you to 'Study Together': What does it mean?

A lot of good points here for teachers wrestling with AI and academic integrity.

Point 18 might be the most important: "One of our best options might be to show students how to use it responsibly."

Blocking or detecting AI isn't the answer. #EduSky #AIEdu
