Abstract

The age of AI has arrived. It is important that both faculty and students understand both its potential power as a tool and its limitations. In this mini-workshop, participants will explore ChatGPT as part of the writing process for a journal-style paper on a bioinformatics research project. The class assignment requires students to look at the accuracy of the feedback and consider the quality of the prompts they choose, generate an outline for the introduction and discussion sections of their paper, and review the potential for unintentional plagiarism when using AI generated material.
