NASHVILLE, TN — Officials at Vanderbilt University are apologizing to students outraged that the university used ChatGPT to craft a consoling email after the mass shooting at Michigan State University.
Last Thursday, administrators at Vanderbilt's Peabody College of Education and Human Development sent an email to students and staff that noted, in small print at the bottom, that the message was a"paraphrase from OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model, personal communication."
However, unlike a statement the day prior by the university's vice provost, which seemed to use more personal language than the Peabody message, the Peabody email lacked a list of campus resources students could access to help them process their emotions.
"While we believe in the message and inclusivity expressed in the email, using ChatGPT to generate communications on behalf of our community in a time of sorrow and in response to a tragedy contradicts the values that characterize Peabody College," Joseph wrote, according to the Hustler. Camilla Benbow, Dean of the Peabody College, said in a statement that she was unaware of the email before it was sent and said she is investigating what led up to its release.
