Speaking of my writing, this week’s Philosophy Unleashed is about the gender-fluidity of God. I don’t believe in God, but if there was a God they would be they/them, he, she and everything in between: <a href="https://www.philosophyunleashed.com/theblog/146-theythem-why-we-need-to-be-gender-neutral-about-god" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.philosophyunleashed.com/theblog/146-theythem-why-we-need-to-be-gender-neutral-about-god</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#God</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gender</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NonBinary</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PhilosophyUnleashed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhilosophyUnleashed</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anglicanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anglicanism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trinity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Inclusivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Inclusivity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Transcendence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transcendence</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HenryRollins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HenryRollins</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HenryRollinsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HenryRollinsDay</a> #21361 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a>

DaN McKeeThis week at Philosophy Unleashed, I used ChatGPT to write an article about whether or not using ChatGPT to do schoolwork is cheating, and something teachers should worry about. Or at least I tried to! The article the AI wrote is there, as is a reflection on the process it took to get it there.
