AI is readily available and willing to write about chemistry for your learners. The question is whether it’s a bad idea

AI bots are readily available and are capable of writing your chemistry students’ homework for them. We challenged an AI bot, ChatGPT to write a 300-word editorial for Education in Chemistry. This resulting article considers the dangers of students using AI bots to complete their homework. 

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
