Given all the discussion about AI in education, I decided to test it. I said to myself (I did), “I wonder what ChatGPT would do if I asked it to draft the newsletter for this week….” Here’s a report of what happened. I provide the prompt I gave to the ‘bot and what it produced. Oh, and I shall be sending a full, handwritten, original version of the actual newsletter Monday morning.

The prompt

Here’s the prompt I gave ChatGPT Classic [version 1.2026.1840 build (1784145287)]: “create a substack newsletter for the week of 17 August 2026 in the format and style of https://www.specialeducationtoday.com.”
