On the eve of the last day of class, I asked Chat to prove about 12 mathematical statements, all of them pulled from homework assignment or our review sheet. I intentionally included one false statement that had been assigned in error to the students. I accidentally included one additional false statement when I typed in the wrong inequality sign, and then I also asked ChapGPT to prove the correct version. On the last day of class I brought in a transcript of the conversation that included 8 of the "proofs" that had errors in them. I asked students to pick two to read, and to comment on what ChaptGPT did well, what it did poorly, and to pinpoint exactly where the logical errors were in each proof.
