Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I’m definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

    I’ve had partners like that in the past. If ChatGPT didn’t exist they would’ve found another way to cheat or avoid work.

    The type of partner who takes the task you asked them to complete, posts the task description on an online forum and hope someone gives them the answer.

      Yes but I think it is a bit different because it just lowers the bar for this a lot. You also really lose trust in everything once you realize that you have spent a lot of time interacting with and checking AI generated stuff without knowing.

        I get that. Before ChatGPT if I had a bad partner it is very quickly obvious that their work is bad.

        Now you might be tricked into thinking they’re competent, which I can imagine is more frustrating because it’s unpredictable.

        I guess that right now people are overusing it as it’s so new, but in the end the people who want to graduate without trying to learn will always try to abuse whatever tools they have to cheat. Usually they face the consequences at some point in their lives.

          To really be successful you need to be curious enough to want to understand things at a deep level. With LLMs people who don’t really care well learn even less than before.
