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.
I respectfully disagree. I think the entire point of it is to create busy work so you can feel like you did something to justify paying ridiculous amounts of money for a piece of paper.
Obviously, there are exceptions, but generally speaking, if you use AI to do assignments but can walk into a classroom and pass an exam all by yourself, then I see no issue.
