    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.

      ChatGPT is a tool that is used for cheating.

      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.

      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.
