Who Wrote This: Human or AI?

Before we begin, do you think you could tell if something was written by a human versus with AI? What are the signs that something was written with AI?

What makes this writing more human? Use specific examples from the text (included below)

Think back to a time you helped someone move a heavy object, such as a couch. While at first the task may have appeared simple, it actually required a suite of advanced behaviours. The job needed verbal commands for social coordination (“pivot!”) and anticipation of near-future events (moving other furniture out of the way). It also required a clear, shared vision of the final goal (which room to take the couch to). It’s a small but satisfying example of human cooperation. But before we all get too pleased with ourselves, consider that ants (creatures with tiny brains and no capacity for speech) routinely pull off feats that rival, and sometimes exceed, our own.

Which challenge surprised you most? Were there moments where the AI writing seemed MORE polished than the human writing? What does that tell us?

Now that AI can write stories, poems, essays, and more, do you think human writing is still valuable? Should teachers still teach students how to write? Explain your answers.
