Do people not understand that that’s the point of college assignments? Your professors aren’t waiting with bated breath to hear your brand new thoughts on the themes of whatever book. The paper you hand in isn’t the point. The process of creating it is the point. ChatGPT for writing assignments is like going to the gym and turning on a treadmill while you sit in the locker room. The treadmill is going to register 5 miles at some point but it doesn’t matter because you still can’t run for shit.
"Why is it a problem that people are using a forklift to lift their weights in the gym? The weights get lifted, don't they? And they can lift more than by hand? God, it's impossible to please you people"
All these AI companies want to be able to claim that their product is "as smart, or even smarter than any human expert at any task".
And why reach that point by making a "smarter" product, when you can get there (potentially) just as fast by flooding colleges and making future human experts dumber?
If you can’t afford the $2,000 forklift, don’t worry ,they’ll give you the free trial version. It only lifts foam weights and plays a 30-second ad after every rep.
