Reply to comment by A-Delonix-Regia in Students can quote ChatGPT in essays as long as they do not pass the work off as their own, international qualification body says by Parking_Attitude_519

How are you supposed to know you are making a mistake without a correction being pointed out?

Reread my top level comment. I said it is okay to use while learning. In my opinion, if you use such tools in graded assignments, you are hiding your own lack of knowledge and fooling yourself.

I mean, graded assignments are a flawed concept in education, but there is no real benefit in using tools like AI there since they do not reflect your own knowledge, unless you use the AI to do research like get a quick summary of what nihilism is about and then rephrase the output in your own words.

I don't think anybody fully understand the risks of not learning. I read a study about a reduction in neuroplasticity in people who relied on a GPS to traverse their surroundings, like a weakening of the ability to learn. I wouldn't be that surprised if neuroplastic changes continued with the failure to learn spelling. Is spelling not just mapping words to their correct spellings in the brain?

Here's a study, there could be a lot more work done but I think it's interesting.

Have people thought of the implications of replacing more and more spatial logic centers of the brain with tools like Chat GPT? Fun stuff to think about! Maybe in the future people will be classified as "learned knowledge clasically" and "has chat gpt".

Well said, I had this talking point against using ChatGPT, but I never thought of using it.
