I’ve been working with so many students who turn to it as a first resort for everything. The second a problem stumps them, it’s AI. The first source for research is AI.
It’s not even about the tech, there’s just something about not wanting to learn that deeply upsets me. It’s not really something I can understand. There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.
Not a teacher but rather was a student in language school and will be a student again hopefully soon. But last time we were in language school everyone was using Chat GOT to get answers in work sheets and translations and stuff just to get a passing grade when in reality the class didn’t actually have a grade. They were cheating for nothing, paying for a class to learn, and swapping out the critical language learning for slop??? Granted we were allowed translators for words we don’t know yet/had trouble with grammar (us especially since autism moment) but we only used Google Translate and normally only single words, which were then put into our need to learn vocab list. At first we felt stupid because everyone seemed to be finished way before us and at lightning speed understanding what’s going on?? But we started to notice they’re ask on their phones and not in the active workbook and after a while found out it was chat gpt. They even said we should get it to not fall behind and yet we were trying to actually learn. Anywho on any spoken portion and exams we and 2 other people who didn’t use gpt passed without issue. :P
