ChatGPT will certainly affect teaching methodology. But there's a reason why we teach students arithmetic and basic algebra without calculators, long after calculators were already ubiquitous.
The same goes for composing an essay. It's not just about the ability to produce a cogent-looking essay, in the same way it isn't good enough that a kid can punch 17*13 into a calculator.
- Wowfunhappy 4y ago^ I actually think we spend too much time on arithmetic, and should let students use calculators starting earlier than we do. But, yes, calculators shouldn't always be allowed, and neither should ChatGPT. But, well, "plagiarism" is never allowed, so IMO the distinction matters!
