Teen2: Can I read you the opening paragraph of my essay?
Me: Of course
Teen: [reads thing indicating he has no idea how much time I have spent 'grading' AI generated essay content over the past couple of years]
Me: I ... do not want to hear what ChatGPT says about this
Teen: I swear, I didn't use Chat!
Me: I don't want to hear what ANY AI has to say. I only want to hear what YOU write. In your words. Your writing.
Teen: I ...
Me: [stare]
Teen: Ok I put it into Google. I can read you the original. But it's not as good.
Me: YES PLEASE
Teen: [reads good, human, high school essay intro paragraph]
Me: That, bro, is all I want. That is all anyone wants. Just bring me your writing. Just you. Nothing else.
Teen: But it has comma splices and stuff. And repeated words.
Me: YES. Please just bring that. I really do not want or need to hear what the predictive text machine says 1000 other people have said. I just want to hear YOU.
Teen: Ok. [Returns to read me paragraphs all evening]
