It is a tool. If you aren't having it proofread your paper for any minor spelling mistakes or for it to suggest ways to make your paper flow better, you're making a mistake. Professors assign papers that involve regurgitating pages of information with 0 synthesis and wonder why students are using AI to write them. They're using AI because that's what it was made for, to regurgitate information in its own words without forming any opinions or conclusions.

Professors are testing if students can critically read a text. Getting AI to do that defeats the skill being developed.

Who the fuck honestly wants a LLM to tell them how to write their prose? Some of us can think for ourselves. It seems to be a dying art, though.

Minor spelling mistakes? That's called a spellchecker and we've had them for decades. If you delegate making your paper flow well to AI, you'll never learn how to actually write well yourself, at which point it must be asked whether you even know what good prose looks like.

If you’re using chat gpt to do simple undergrad assignments, you don’t belong in college. And you’re wasting you/r parents’ money.
