The ability to 'cheat' on written assignments has always been a possibility. With the rise of the Internet, it became easier to source it from more places - with a counter balancing rise of plagiarism detectors. Now with Google, Grammarly and ChatGPT, it is trivial to copy/paste a pipeline with enough entropy to defeat many if not most detectors. I suspect the next generation of tools will be finish this cycle - we w…

BY ASKING CHATGTP IF IT'S CHATGTP GENERATED -_- wtf. even the dedicated detectors don't work well.

This is what you get by hyping ChatGPT without making clear what it does, can do, and can not do.

I'm noticing an extremely strong trend of this. It's surprisingly common to see people on twitter use a ChatGPT screenshot as a "source" for statistics or facts that aren't correct.

It says the same for the comment you replied to. I don't think it's accurate for this task.

At this point you can replace professor and university with ChatGPT. For well documented topics (like math, languages..) it gives pretty good explanations. I use it to study new programming language and AI!

We already know it can't actually do math and it'll bald-faced lie to you about facts, so I don't think that's actually a great idea.

Remember when people didn't trust Wikipedia? They actually taught us about references and primary sources. Then we all kind of forgot, or got lazy. Same thing with this, even if the bots list sources, we won't read them, we barely read what the bot says to begin with.

So not making any spelling errors is now equivalent to having red hair in the old times?

I've seen the same exact thing in HN comments where someone copied stats directly from chatgpt and then cited chatgpt
