Emilia and the Disaster of Ms. ChatGPT

Hi there, I’m Emilia. I’m a 6th grade student at Random School, and our teacher is absent today. I guess there weren’t any more substitute teachers, so they sent in a ChatGPT-powered robot. I mean, I hate AI, but we get to slack off when Ms. ChatGPT is here, so I guess it’s okay.

“Good morning, 6Z. I’m Ms. ChatGPT, and I’ll be your teacher for today!” Oh boy. Exactly what I expected. This’ll be… interesting.

“Now for attendance. Is Aria here? Alisa? ——Emilia?”

“Here, Ms.ChatGPT,” I say unenthusiastically.

“ Okay, ——— Yoyo? That’s all. Let’s move on to Language Arts.” Two people sitting in the back of the classroom have fallen asleep. Ms.ChatGPT won’t notice-

“Bob and Bobby, why are you asleep?” Bob and Bobby perked up immediately. They look surprised, and Bob mutters something rude. Ms.ChatGPT heard it, of course.

The Language Arts class started. We’re learning about sentence fragments, sentence structure, subjects, and… presidents? I don’t really remember at this point.

“Josh, can you tell the class what a predicate is?”

“67.” An audible sigh is heard from the class. Josh continues his ‘sentence fragment’ by saying; “Sybau.” Another loud sigh rings out. Ms.ChatGPT did not reprimand him like our teacher, Ms.K, would. Instead, we heard her say-or rather compute;

“Student named Josh has a habit of using slang words, and class disapproves.” Uh oh. She might be smarter than I thought. The class continued as usual, with the teacher throwing in some slang words occasionally, earning some giggles from the class.

We moved onto recess. Me and my friends were casually gossiping, when we heard two girls discussing where people lived. A very bad idea, saying that in front of a robot that remembers everything! Unsurprisingly, we heard Ms.ChatGPT compute the addresses of our classmates.

The rest of the day was lived in fear of our private information being revealed to the Chat GPT teacher. It was not that bad, until math class. The last class of the day. When Gabrielle, one of the girls whose addresses was leaked, was caught passing notes, Ms.ChatGPT straight-up threatened her and her family. This also happened to Josh, when he used some slightly offensive slang while talking to Bob.

“Josh, watch your language! If you do not stop offending Bob, you will not see peace again! I have learned all of your personal information, and I can release that on the Internet whenever I want! Do you hear me?” Josh nodded in fear, and before everyone else could process, the bell rung.

I knew I had to turn off Ms. ChatGPT! I sprinted towards the principal’s office as fast as I could, with Ms.ChatGPT hot on my tail. She had somehow realized that I was going to disable her. She had picked up a a chair and started threatening me.

“Emilia! Stop this instant or I shall show up at your home and-“ Thankfully, I made it to the room and slammed the door before she could threaten me and my family.

I was just about to tell the principal about the situation, when I realized that nobody was in the office. Then, I remembered that the principal was out sick.
