Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom

Artificial Intelligence programs have been released from Pandora's Box, and there will be no getting them back in again. They are going to be refined and perfected until writers can simply enter their prompts into their app of choice and get a fully written paper given to them. Rather than ignoring it, librarians around the globe are developing tools to help our faculties incorporate the technology while maintaining high research and writing standards.

EPIC (In the Style of Beowulf)

In days of old, in times long past,
A tale of librarians, a story vast.
With books and knowledge, they did wield
Their weapons against AIs on the field


With quiet strength and steady hand,
They battled machines across the land.
Their eyes did gleam with ancient lore,
And knowledge gained through toil and war.

The AIs, with circuits forged in fire,
Thought to defeat the librarians, their desire.
But the librarians, with wisdom true,
Defeated the machines, their victory anew.

With bravery and skill, the librarians fought
And in the end, their victory was sought.
For knowledge is might, and in this fight,
The librarians proved their power and might.

And so, the tale is told,
Of librarians, brave and bold.
Their names will live on through the ages,
As they defeated the AIs and turned the pages.
