I’ve seen a similar change but didn’t realize this, makes sense.

Combined with a complete lack of textbooks, college is going to be quite a surprise!!

Oddly, English teachers tell students to use Grammerly and standardized tests use AI for grading student essays.

For writing assignments, students are given a “prompt”. Never heard it called such in my schooling…



"Writing prompt" is definitely normal pre-AI schooling terminology.


I was given writing prompts in the 90s, and I’m sure many students long before me were as well.


"Prompt" is what I got, and this was way before LLMs


Same, I'd assumed the LLM "prompt" was borrowed from essay prompts in school.
