Cheating on your college essay with ChatGPT won't get you good grades, say professors — but AI could make education fairer

"We're witnessing the death of the college essay in realtime," said one user on"I'm not a huge fan of the gloom and doom," said Professor Stuart Selber, who teaches English at Pennsylvania State University."Every year or two, there's something that's ostensibly going to take down higher education as we know it. So far, that hasn't happened."

While ChatGPT's writing might seem"quite good in an abstract way", Selber thinks it struggles to address precise or local issues, generate an original argument, or interrogate other arguments rather than just citing them. These are all key aspects of effective essay-writing in his opinion. He's not alone in this assessment. Dr Jacqueline Antonovich, an Assistant Professor at Muhlenberg College,that she put a question from her midterm essays into ChatGPT and the paper it produced"would earn an F. Probably an F- if that's possible."

Henrickson told Insider:"I think there's a lot of potential for helping people express themselves in ways that they hadn't necessarily thought about. This could be particularly useful for students who speak English as a second language, or for students who aren't used to the academic writing style."

I just had a convo with someone who did not even know that as an American they had the right to the freedom of information act.. ffs..

Honestly your views about how this is going to pan out and how the next generation are going to be using this stuff is sad. You understand the difference between indoc and thinking for yourself correct?

LMFAO what do you mean exactly by it could make education 'Fairer'? I took latin for years to improve my vocabulary and i still spell like garbo. I would consider it an insult to have an AI write for me. Unless I wanted to ya know.. FAKE IT..

Then they want their tuitions paid off for them?
