This is nice, but it's not at all how students use ChatGPT (anecdotal based on my kid and her friends who are at the uni right now).

The way they actually use is to get ChatGPT to generate ALL their homework and submit that. And sometimes take home exams too. And the weird thing is that some professors are perfectly cool with it.

I am starting to question whether the cost of going to a place of higher learning is worth it.

The point of the article is to highlight how students should be using ChatGPT.

Now it's up to you to share it with your kid and convince them they shouldn't cheat themselves out of an education by offloading the learning part to an LLM.

This doesn't change the value provided by the institution they're enrolled in unless the teachers are offloading their jobs to LLMs in a way that's detrimental to the students.

Cheating has been and will always be a thing.

You are preaching to the choir here. But with cheating being so trivial and time saving, I think we will simply see more and more of it.
