Published: Feb. 21, 2023, 10:56 p.m.

b'ChatGPT is incredibly popular online, boasting more than 100 million monthly active users within just two months of its launch last November.

The program is powered by a language model that is programmed to produce human dialogue. Users can feed it a prompt, and ChatGPT will predict how it should respond.

This makes teachers nervous. Educators are concerned the application will fundamentally change how writing is taught and will impact students\' abilities to craft ideas on their own.

Meanwhile, other teachers are getting creative with the technology.

We assemble a panel of guests to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on our schools. It\'s part of our series Know It All: 1A and WIRED\'s Guide to AI.
