ChatGPT helped me on all my essays. I go to a big private university and I’m one of the smarter students so my professors already expect the quality from my essays pre-gpt. Saved me SOOO MUCH STRESS. I had, at one point, 7 papers I had to do before the semester ended

Does it include citations? I’ve never had an essay that didn’t require citations.

My stuff was related to the business school so the papers in question weren’t the type for citation. I should also add that I didn’t use it so brazenly as some others seem to be doing. I think if I had to put a number on it, I guess it’s a 65/35 split with 35% being the gpt assisted portions. I write my papers in a distinct way

You can't just spit in a prompt and get a high quality essay out(yet).

What you should do is use it as a tool. Provide it with decent inputs, do some editing and squeeze in sources on the back end. It will turn a 3 hour writing project into a 30 minute one.

You're using the tools at your disposal to deliver a polished final product in an efficient manner. Personally, I love using it as a personal office assistant- it has made work life significantly easier.
