Watch as I challenge ChatGPT to a write-off against three children's book classics: Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, and Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
Who do you think will win?! 🤔
BOOKS (In order of appearance): • Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown • The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats • Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
Reflection: I do want to acknowledge the ethical concerns of ChatGPT. In January 2023, Time Magazine reported on the unethical labor practices used by OpenAI on its Kenyan work force. In addition, ChatGPT has received training data from a wide host of texts—texts from authors and writers who have not given their consent for their work to be used. I view the manuscripts produced in this video as artistic renderings and would not view them as manuscripts for publication.
If you would like to learn more about the use of ChatGPT, I recommend these articles: • Casal, J. Elliott, and Matthew Kessler. "Can linguists distinguish between ChatGPT/AI and human writing?: A study of research ethics and academic publishing." Research Methods in Applied Linguistics 2.3 (2023): 100068. • Mhlanga, David, Open AI in Education, the Responsible and Ethical Use of ChatGPT Towards Lifelong Learning (February 11, 2023).

She is also an affiliated faculty in the School of the Environment. Her scholarship focuses on reconceptualizing place-based and environmental education within current times of ecological precarity. She roots her scholarship in perspectives from Indigenous knowledges and Black feminist geographies. Her book, "Decolonizing Place in Early Childhood Education," which was published by Routledge in 2019, examines the entanglements of place, environmental education, childhood, race, and settler colonialism in early learning contexts.
