You learn a lot from ChatGPT though. If you want to know the ordinary answer to some essay question, cgpt will give you that. If you leave it at that and hand it in, maybe Chomsky is right.
But it's also a essay writing productivity tool. You sketch out what you want mentioned and cgpt will fill in the gaps, like those apprentices that helped the renaissance masters. I keep coming back to the phrase "small intentions" when I discuss cgpt: both in essays and code, it is already quite good at filling in details.
With less time spent on details, students can spend more time on the architecture. Ultimately, we'll have more people able to practice higher level creativity. This is already a thing that you do in math class; after your primary school years, you get a calculator to work out the arithmetic.
