Ich habe es gestern experimentell überprüft: Studierende brauchen 30 Sekunden länger, um eine Fanfiction-Geschichte zu Super Mario zu schreiben (unter Verwendung von FanTALES.eu Prompts), als ich brauche, um über den Campus zu joggen, meinen Aufhebungsvertrag zu unterschreiben, und zurückzujoggen :)

As much as we see value in generative text technologies for language learning and teaching - when used wisely pedagogically and with respect for the creative work of authors - our values and mission do not align with those of OpenAI. Alternative GenAI applications are out there.

Going forward, we will stop promoting the use of ChatGPT in our workshops and materials. ChatGPT is Trump's biggest donor, and ICE uses a screening tool powered by OpenAI's GPT-4. quitgpt.org

To start this Friday on a cheerful note, here's a random joke that a hobbit found in our workshop archives this morning. It's a mash-up of some of our favourite fandoms: playing with languages and Blackadder!

Can students write multilingual fiction in 15 minutes? Yes they can! Here are some impressions from a recent #flashfiction workshop for friends at UOttawa, in which students transformed fairy tales. Curious how it works? Watch this video: @mjhamel20
