Since it was made available to the public last month, Openai's text-generating chatGPT has made a lot of waves.
The artificial intelligence has been able to spit out everything from usable source code to vaguely believable short stories, and it has even shocked some academics, who were taken by its essay-writing skills.
Not everyone is convinced that we are witnessing the death of the college essay.
Even if you're not caught cheating, it's still a bad idea to use ChatGPT for your college exam, even if you don't get caught.
Stuart Selber is an English professor at Pennsylvania State University. Higher education is going to be taken down every year or two. That hasn't happened yet.
It's just history repeating itself.
He told Insider that he could find similar alarm over Word, Wikipedia, and the internet in the past.
Selber believes that a good essay in college is one that questions the data but doesn't turn it into a new argument.
An essay generated after she input a prompt would earn an F.
She said it was probably an F- if that was possible.
Even though it's not very good at writing college essays, it's still useful for students.
A future for this type of technology in the classroom could be allowing non-native English speakers to express themselves.
She said that the students knew that the tools existed. Our job is to help them use them in a way that's critical.
Professors say that cheating on your college essay will not get you good grades.
Professors are alarmed by new artificial intelligence that writes essays about dumb students.
