The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they’re using the AI tool again more.

    Homework shouldn’t even exist anymore, it’s antiquated and gives kids no work/life balance. (It might actually be a conspiracy to condition them to being worked to death.)

    It’s a godsend honestly. I just went back to school at damn near 40 and with a full time job. ChatGPT has made getting through my school work so much easier and faster. I would have never had the patience or time to do college work without it.

      Same tbh. I’m using bing search as it gives me relevant sources as well - to fact check the output. As a bonus, it leads me to websites that aren’t seo spam. Google search is officially worse than Bing in my books.

      Good on us for keeping up with the times, I say.

        You can get chatGPT to write something with sources listed as well, just depends on how you prompt it. I do always proofread and edit its output though. Really is a super useful tool.

    Homework is a tool for repetition and drudgery. Kids are in school all day. They shouldn’t need homework.

      I hate to say it but there are simply so many subjects to cover in a single day that it’s hard to reinforce the lessons learned in class within the given amount of time in a school session. Maybe if schools were structured in a way in which fewer subjects were taught each day would the lessons stick better without the need of homework.

      Repetition is how people learn to remember things and improve their skills. I fail to see how that’s bad.
