ChatGPT in the Classroom: Friend or Foe?

<p class="MsoNormal">What happens when artificial intelligence can write better essays than your students—and they don't even know the difference? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Bill Davis from Covenant College explores the ethical implications of AI in education and beyond. From the classroom challenges of detecting AI-generated work to the broader questions of human expertise versus machine efficiency, this conversation digs deep into how tools like ChatGPT and Claude are reshaping learning, medicine, and human interaction. Dr. Davis shares practical insights on teaching students to recognize the difference between human creativity and statistically-generated text, while examining the critical question: How do we maintain human agency and wisdom in an increasingly AI-driven world? Whether you're an educator, parent, or simply curious about AI's role in society, this episode offers essential perspectives on navigating the promises and perils of artificial intelligence.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Resources:</span></u></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://covenant.edu/">https://covenant.edu/</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Departing In Peace: Biblical Decision-Making at the End of Life by Dr. Bill Davis on Amazon - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Departing-Peace-Biblical-Decision-Making-Life/dp/1629952591"> https://www.amazon.com/Departing-Peace-Biblical-Decision-Making-Life/dp/1629952591</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This episode of <em>Refining Rhetoric</em> is sponsored by:</span></u></strong></p> <p class="Default"> </p> <p class="Default"><span style="font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif;"> Many Americans across the country that feel stuck with their financial institution simply because the idea of switching feels too overwhelming.
