It’s no secret that OpenAI’s gangbusters chatbot ChatGPT has become the bane of educators trying to get their pupils to turn in some honest work. Cheating will never go away, but chatbots just make it more tempting and easy than ever.
The thing with being a cheat, though, is that a good one has to be careful to cover their tracks — something that some lazy students relying on an AI that does all the work for them appear not to be bothering with.
“I had answers come in that said, ‘I am just an AI language model, I don’t have an opinion on that,'” Timothy Main, a writing professor at Conestoga College in Canada, told The Associated Press.
