Here's my draft of my writing assignment in the age of GPT-3 and other LLMs. Let me know if it's helpful or if you are doing something similar or different.

This is nice, Mark - but I have a suggestion. As I explain in more depth here ... https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/how-much-is-too-much ... there is a risk of starting out with a prompt: you are giving up the precious opportunity of a "first-thought", an unbiased engagement with the topic that prepares the mind. Thus I would ask students to first think for themselves, perhaps write down a few bullet points, and then prompt ChatGPT. Remember, the algorithm sounds very authoritative, and it takes quite a bit of effort to see its arguments clearly, to sort them by importance and relevance, and to check their logical connections.
You just want to avoid them to get locked-in to the generated text's way of seeing thing.
Cheers -
