The point of writing papers for school is to evaluate a person’s ability to convey information in writing.
If you’re using a tool to generate large parts of the paper, the teacher is no longer evaluating you, they’re evaluating chatGPT. That’s dishonest in the student’s part, and circumventing the whole point of the assignment.

Computers are a fundamental part of that process in modern times.
If you’re using a tool to generate large parts of the paper
Like spell check? Or grammar check?
… the teacher is no longer evaluating you, in an artificial context
circumventing the whole point of the assignment.
Assuming the point is how well someone conveys information, then wouldn’t many people better be better at conveying info by using machines as much as reasonable? Why should they be punished for this? Or forced to pretend that they’re not using machines their whole lives?
It’s the same argument as the one used against emulators. The actual emulator may not be illegal, but they are overwhelmingly used to violate the law by the end user.
No need for a diagram, I feel it’s dumb and can be summed up really quickly. If your job is to teach, and you instead require additional time, perhaps schedule more classtime instead of outsourcing the step by step instruction part to the children’s parents (requesting they teach a method they were never taught… looking at you common core bs). If the math lesson requires more instruction, make the finger-painting the homework, or plan the lessons to include time to reinforce the concepts.
Shouldn’t be the question why students used chatgpt in the first place?
chatgpt is just a tool it isn’t cheating.
So maybe the author should ask himself what can be done to improve his course that students are most likely to use other tools.
Sounds like something ChatGPT would write : perfectly sensible English, yet the underlying logic makes no sense.
Lemmy has seen a lot like that lately. Specially in these “charged” topics.
ChatGPT is a tool that is used for cheating.

the concept of homework was dumb in the first place anyways
wot? please explain, with diagrams!
And share with us all tomorrow
Make sure you show your work.

Just a personal opinion though.
