[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure many of you use ChatGPT or the like in your daily lives and see its power to write just about anything.

Is it time for schools to 100% kill all essays?  Honestly, what's the point?[/quote]

Using ChatGPT well is also a skill. A skill that is going to be more important in the future.

HS and college students are already using it extensively. It is very helpful in reducing the amount of time required, eliminates the need to hire college counselors to review essays dramatically reducing costs and reduces stress.

You start with what is output and then personalize it extensively, which takes about 5% of the total effort compared to writing it from scratch. It has been a lifesaver in the last cycle for applying and getting into T20.

This, unfortunately, is the right take. This technology is a game changer and is not going anywhere. I don’t think that we can put the genie back in the bottle.[/quote]

This is NOT the right take.  Before someone can effectively use technology (BTW, not what the college asked for), they need to possess the skills themselves, otherwise they are not “using” the tool, it is using them.  The idea that PP’s cheating offspring displaces someone who actually has the brains to benefit from. T20 is too bad.  [/quote]

Did you enjoy creating your first fork from scratch before you started using forks? [/quote]
