Yes, but that's still wild to me since chatgpt can make shit up and itself won't cite where it came from. It is a language model based on internet data.

Where it gets the data for what they'll cite is the issue, and something I can imagine as presenting a problem.

When we read other papers or articles, there's always a Bibliography you can use to go check out what they based their thoughts on.

Let's get this over with:

  • Sure it can make videos, but you can see they're fake.
  • Sure it can make ok videos but it can't make full on movies.
  • Sure it can make movies, but none would win awards anyway.
  • Sure you can make Oscar worthy movies, but it's only because it's not interactive. It can't program or make games.
  • Sure it can make some scripts, but it's full of errors.
  • Sure it can make scripts that are pretty ok, but a programmers main job is to get requirements, communicate with stakeholder and get the main architecture right.
  • Sure those people now bypass programmers completely and just deal with the AI directly, but it still can't merge that all with interactive art and make for example games.
  • Sure it can make games, but they're pretty simple. A small team of programmers and designers could do the same.
  • Sure it can make complex games better than any huge company, but it still fails to make it immersive.
  • Sure the games are very immersive and can feel like a reality simulation, but you still need a team of people coming up with prompts all the time otherwise it's useless.
  • Sure it can read your mind and give you exactly what you want, an Oscar worthy movie, an award winning game and museum worthy art, but it still is limited to the digital world.
  • Sure it can make simple sculptures and paintings, but they're full of errors. It will never replace real manual labor.
  • Sure it has replaced all manual and digital labor, and make everything better than humans do, but humans will always want stuff made by other humans even if by all means it's objectively worse.

Fair enough.

Judging by your reply you need some help to form full sentences already ;)

Using a tool to achieve a result sidesteps the question of competency, and that is what we measure in class. Not "can I ask someone else to do something for me".

Of course, classes need to change to accommodate tools available to everyone (and not favour just those with privileged access), but only the use of those tools to aid your own understanding, not to replace what you do. Riding 100m on a bike is not the same as running it. Performing multiplication manually is not the same as doing it on a calculator (if that aptitude is what is being tested). Handing in an essay that was written for you does not test your comprehension or knowledge of the subject matter.

No need to be rude.

Calculators are great when you need an exact answer or the problem has a lot of pieces. A lot of problems just require estimates, and many high schoolers and adults can’t do that.

If you ever work outside where your hands can get cold, wet, and/or dirty, you’ll understand that using your phone for math is not always convenient.
