ChatGPT is a free service that can answer questions, and/or create original answers using artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence can write love songs, essays, create images or answer questions like 'are unicorns real?'

There are concerns for ChatGPT and artificial intelligence.  Sometimes there are no responses to more philosophical questions. Some information given by ChatGPT may be incorrect. I would be concerned that students would turn to artificial intelligence to complete their school work for them, rather than trying themselves.  Communicating, in both writing and the visual arts, is key to our humanity and l would not want future generations to lose that skill.  I think the idea of using it to further your own understanding, or to inspire your own work could be beneficial to students.  Personally I am not much of an artist so I find the idea of creating art with AI to be very intriguing.
