In 1961, the machine sang its first words. Surrounded by engineers and programmers, the IBM 7094 became the first computer to carry a tune. Now, as artificial intelligence sings covers of songs and creates them from nothing more than a prompt, we have come a long way since the earliest babbling of machine-generated music.

They consume information and spit it out when asked. This does not mean the information spit out is always right.
To ban the use of an emerging technology simply out of fear will result in unfamiliarity with a tool of the future. Generative AI programs will not just disappear because educational institutions don’t like their capability for dishonesty.
Baylor’s Office of Academic Integrity offers resources to professors to combat the use of ChatGPT in the classroom. The list of resources was made available to faculty on April 4, five months after OpenAI released ChatGPT and sparked conversations about the ethics of using it in the classroom.
According to Turnitin, the platform already has a resource page to support educators on AI and what they need to know about the new technology. These include updates on the capabilities of AI and updates on the progress they have made on their own detection feature so far.
“I believe even more today how important it is that we have a university like Baylor in the broad and diverse landscape of higher education,” Livingstone said. “We’ve been really privileged to be successful at making tremendous progress on this vision.”
The Academic Integrity Department has already begun creating a list of tools for professors to use in order to detect ChatGPT, which is available on their website. Including sites that behave like Turnitin.com and will pick up AI, Null said professors are encouraged to use these sites if they feel it is necessary.
The reports of each test said ChatGPT was able to pass the exams, but not necessarily outscore human students.
Reed and Sneed said they aren’t entirely sure students aren’t already using the software, but there are many limitations to the AI.
