| Stop treating ChatGPT like it knows anything What does the popularity of ChatGPT mean for us language professionals? Does it influence our work as teachers, translators, journalists and editors? Does it threaten academic skills education? We invited Tim Kassenberg to enlighten us and answer our questions. He is a lecturer of English of Academic Purposes and English Linguistics at the University of Groningen, where he teaches academic skills such as research methodology, writing, presentation and discussion, as well as entry-level constructionist English syntax. He wrote an introduction to this theme for us, which you can read in full on this page. |
