The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they’re using the AI tool again more.

    It does not work. At most it looks like it works.

    No it does work, it’s just most people don’t understand its just a very complex lookup table essentially using a predictive model. It doesn’t think, nor feel, nor imagine, it runs a function to choose the next fitting word based on previous inputs and it’s training set. In that regard it is damn good.

      Yes but that’s not what people think. They use it as a search engine, a programmer and a teacher. This is my problem, they use it as something it absolutely isn’t and base their opinions, knowledge and work on that.

        The only issue with it is needing to teach people to fact check back with 1st party sources. Teachers are not always absolute, documentation is not always absolute, and search engines are certainly not always absolute especially with SEO. Fact checking is always a necessity whether using generative AI solutions or not. You need to take a step back, this improves efficiency when used correctly and you won’t teach proper use cases if not brought up early with students in school. You are arguing against yourself here.
