ChatGPT is an incredible language learning resource! I have used it to create lesson plans, handouts, practice exercises, Illustrative tables, and other materials; to translate between languages; and to produce IPA transcripts. I have also used it for assessments and practice exercises, including cloze sentences and multiple choice quizzes with answer keys. However, as noted in your article, accuracy of such materials should be carefully checked. In one practice activity I had it create regarding definite versus indefinite articles, more than half of the answers in the answer key were wrong.

Wow, that's an extensive list! I was really happy when I found out it can transcribe IPA (even in different accents! Although it always messes up the glottal stops). You're right though, you definitely need to check the accuracy. Looking forward to when that improves!
