ChatGPT created a lesson plan on the American Civil War, but educators who looked at it warned the subject might be more than AI can handle

• Insider asked ChatGPT to create a high school-level history lesson to test the accuracy of OpenAI's anti-cheating tool.
• The tool failed to detect the lesson plan created by AI, so we asked an education expert for his opinion.
• OpenAI execs have supported the use of ChatGPT as a tool in education rather than a hindrance.

When ChatGPT was released to the public in November, people across many industries — including education — either applauded the artificial intelligence tool's potential or condemned it.
