Terrible article, let me save you all the time. Students using ChatGPT = Cheating , there you go, that's the article.
It isn’t cheating any more than Wikipedia is cheating and Wikipedia isn’t cheating any more than an encyclopaedia is cheating.
Just get out of then new world if you can’t lend a hand.
So you are suggesting that a student looking up information on Wikipedia is the same level of academic dishonesty as someone turning in a paper written by chatgpt?
What the fuck?
That's not what they, or the stats, said. You can use chatgpt without plagiarizing, just like how you can use wikipedia without copy-pasting the whole article.
It's not about plagiarizing. It's about needing to know whether you, not ChatGPT, can actually write well. How are you going to write original research? ChatGPT can maybe sort of help write your introduction, but it can't write about something you've just discovered. You have to know how to write or else you'll never be able to write anything original. Imagine how depressing the world will be when everything you read is just AI-mass-genersted pablum imitating and simulating human experience, but not truly connected to an actual person with real emotions.
