Dr. James Beasley, Professor of English, presents "ChatGPT: The Mirage of Correctness and the Rhetorical Realities of Racism" at the National Council of the Teachers of English Conference, Denver, CO.

"Because World Englishes are fluid and multifaceted with many equally influential and important varieties, rhetorical power is gained by learning to negotiate between and integrate different texts, genres, languages, audiences or dialects. The writer is empowered to use all available means to create a text rather to master and then re-enact a narrowly defined linguistic code” (Balester, 2012, pg. 71).

ChatGPT exacerbates the impacts of acculturationist rhetoric, as it limits students’ abilities to “negotiate and create” linguistic solutions to rhetorical problems.
