It had a good impact for me, it saved me from an immense headache of university. I explicitly told the professors that, I have issues with grammar (despite it being my native language).

They kept freaking out about it and I eventually resorted to ChatGPT. Solved the issue immediately.

Are you my student? Having issues with grammar is just code for needing to learn grammar, you’re in college lol. Multiple students try to fix their papers with ChatGPT and it’s so obvious and frequently gets bad grades.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I see it differently… Certainly students have to learn it. However, when a student tells you explicitly the person has problems with it and the professor refuses to listen. You can bet the students will resort to ChatGPT. It solves the current problem.

If the students just copy-paste it all then obvious they get caught.

I, personally, have had issues with grammar in my native language since I was a kid. I have books to learn but that won’t solve the immediate issue with the thesis at that time. ChatGPT solved that issue directly.

So what I did was making sure there were at least 1 or 2 mistakes.

Also I graduated and currently just waiting to get the degree and searching for a job lol.

The biggest issue in this is that every essay you write is an opportunity to improve your writing. You chose to take the easy route. There is another commenter complaining how they don’t want to teach college writing because of LLM. This is exactly why….

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, learning the grammar won’t be within the 5 months of the thesis. I refuse to have lots of delay just to satisfy the professor and pay the university money just for that.

Whether it is an easy route or not, I honestly don’t care. All I care about is getting the degree.

And yeah, if that person wants to stop teaching writing. That’s their decision.

[–] ComradeMiao 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You learning isn’t for the prof or the university. That line of thinking is why teaching sucks. Why go to college to not learn? What a waste of money

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I had a lot of motivation to learn but that all crashed down when university started. Pandemic happened, professors did not want to give online classes and not allowed to ask questions in online class.

I went to university because*, I want the degree and the job with it.

We have a different opinion on this matter and that’s okay.

If professors don’t want to teach… Then don’t? Having professors that don’t want to listen, read of a PowerPoint* and such. That ain’t fun either.

I love how all these elitist fucktards are dismissing the countless number of people who claim that LLMs help them with their daily tasks.

I wonder if they also tell people wearing eyeglasses to stop cheating and learn how to appreciate the tools that was given to them by God... After all, these people probably also tried wearing eyeglasses and found them useless and limiting.
