In a groundbreaking move, "Let's English!", the renowned English school chain, has taken its quirky approach a step further by employing Lulu the chimpanzee for its cutting-edge online teaching service, the "Happy Talk Network."
Lulu's role involves participating in the chain's internet-based teaching curriculum, allowing students to engage in dialogues in a chat room-style format via computer, now enhanced with ChatGPT.
While Lulu may not boast fluency in English, her adeptness at responding to symbols resembling fruit, coupled with the magic of ChatGPT, allows her to convey expressions like "Lulu want banana" in a manner that the company deems reasonably sufficient for their lower-level students to comprehend.
Despite not earning a traditional salary, Lulu will enjoy a steady diet, a transportation allowance, and even have her own file folder at the virtual office. The teachers' union representative has hinted at potential legal action if Lulu's responsibilities extend to conversation classes—an idea that a Let's representative was unwilling to rule out. "Other teachers don't have as much excitement about their work. Lulu brings excitement to teaching."
Simultaneously, a representative for Lulu is negotiating a character goods licensing fee for the chimpanzee, paving the way for her charismatic persona to star in advertisements promoting the new service. The prospect of Lulu charmingly using ChatGPT to connect with students is anticipated to add an extra layer of entertainment and effectiveness to the online English learning experience.
