My chief response is sympathy. The feeling that you are putting great effort into delivering experiences that should be-and have been-meaningful to students, but which students are bypassing almost entirely by employing ChatGPT or their ilk, is simply awful.
In speaking with teachers and professors and witnessing many comments online, I'm hearing not so much anger at students for making these choices, but frustration over a situation which makes these choices understandable from the student's point of view, and impossible to respond to from the instructor's point of view.
Entirely retooling one's assignments and assessment practices on the fly is not possible. I know this because I did retool these things prior to ChatGPT and it took me at least eight semesters.
What has been done in the past doesn't work, and there is not enough time to arrive at the future.
