In case you haven’t noticed, everyone’s been talking about AI lately. Over the last year, the technology seems to have improved by leaps and bounds. If you want to create a beautiful (often kind of weird) image, you’ve got the likes of DALL·E 2 to help you, or if you want to create a line of code or some kind of prose, there’s the chatbot, ChatGPT.

Some academics even worry students will start using ChatGPT to write all their college essays.
