Abstract
Higher education has witnessed a paradigm shift from the rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (genAI). Basing its name on the television show, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, this single-class activity was designed to foster media literacy students’ understanding of popular genAI tools. To compare and contrast the capabilities of different tools, students played an interactive media literacy quiz against OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot. The follow-up discussion focused on genAI use, including issues of credibility, accuracy, and ethical issues related to genAI output. This activity is highly adaptable and allows instructors to customize the provided content as genAI tools continue to change. Courses Media Literacy, Introduction to Mediated Communication, Introduction to Media Studies, Introduction to Communication, Media Effects, Public Speaking, Research Methods. Objectives Students will (a) test their media literacy knowledge, (b) compare and contrast the capabilities and limits of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, (c) judge the credibility and accuracy of information provided by genAI, (d) discuss appropriate uses and applications of genAI, and (e) discuss pitfalls and ethical considerations when discussing the use of genAI.
