## Introduction
In today’s comedic episode of “Skynet Now: The Education Chronicles,” our fascinating and somewhat worrisome story revolves around the surging trend of British students increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to help write their essays. We’ve always joked that robots will take over the world, but who knew they’d start at high school English class?!
## Key Points
– Playing ‘Instructor-sistant’: Results from a survey by the Higher Education Policy Institute show that a whopping 53% of UK undergraduates are using AI to generate material for their essays. We can’t vouch if their robot-written sonnets will be masterpieces, though.
– Meet Google Bard and ChatGPT: These application seniors are acting as academic counselors for one-fourth of the participants, giving suggestions on topics; whereas, one eighth of the students are using them to create content. Let’s just hope their literary preferences skew closer to Shakespeare than to ‘Twilight’.
– AI Tiara Heads into the Classroom: Not only limited to students, but it seems that teachers are also trying to put these AI helpers on for size, in an attempt to lessen their workload by aiding in lesson planning.
## Final Thoughts
In this hilariously unfolding modern tale of Frankenstein, our students and educators are arming themselves with artificial intelligence. Let’s just hope that as we mingle AI code into the grammar lessons, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ doesn’t morph into ‘R2-D2 falls for Siri’. In all seriousness, it’s fascinating to watch the interfaces of technology and education intertwine and evolve. One can’t help but ponder, though, will this lead to an age of renaissance or an age of redundancy? Only time, and perhaps AI, can tell!
Summary: Stop, Drop, & Roll, The AI Is Taking Over Classroom Control
Key Takeaways: Robots are writing essays, lesson planning, and making Shakespeare a bit nervous
Final Thoughts: Brace yourself; The AI-Education fusion is upon us. Let’s just hope we get more ‘Macbeth’, less Skynet.

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Futurism art style, the image depicts an uncluttered yet technologically advanced classroom. Students sit at sleek, futuristic desks equipped with holographic display screens. An AI robot pirate stands at the forefront of the classroom, replacing the traditional human teacher. It has a digital parrot perched on its metallic shoulder, and a headscarf and eyepatch, with light beams, signifying scanned information, emanating from its one robotic eye. The robot is making intricate hand gestures, which are coded commands in the air, symbolizing “Stop, Drop & Roll”. Kids look on with intrigue and amusement, as holographic educational content swirls around them.
