Project Description

What does chatGPT know about discrete math?

• The project is supposed to be something fun that you choose to do, but it will involve a "stress test" of chatGPT (or another AI of your choosing -- so replace "chatGPT" everywhere with your AI). It will be graded in part by your peers.

• You will work alone.

• Each of you will select a topic of our class, and explore it with chatGPT. You should push chatGPT to explain the ideas, demonstrate, describe the history, etc. etc. of your topic.

  You should show where chatGPT shines (if it does), and where it fails ignominously (if it does).

  You may "stress test" areas or topics from the text which we do not cover; all proposals require my approval however.

• Your project proposal is due by the Monday after spring break (3/17). I expect a one-page description, typed, explaining how you're planning to attack the area of interest.

• You will present your work on our wiki (here is the 2023 project page).

  You may examine the 2023 projects for ideas, but you may not repeat a project (obviously!).

• Projects are due by the last day of class, 4/30, by midnight.

• This project rubric shows how your project will be evaluated. Each of you will be given two projects to evaluate, randomly selected.

• The evaluations are due by midnight, May 7th (after finals are over). Each should be about two pages total, typed. I expect you to devote about 45 minutes to each project.
