We just did some PD at my school board about ChatGPT. There are some people who are uneasy about it and others who embrace it. @DDMeyer has done some work in looking at what it can do for math and that's fine but the thing that intrigued me was the comment that reminded us that students, when asking questions, don't do a very good job of articulating themselves and so if they were trying to formulate a question to ask ChatGPT, it may not be able to figure out what they're asking. Anyway. Check out his post and by all means, check out the comments.
