>This sentence is out of nowhere, did ChatGPT write this article? How could someone think something so new is suddenly negatively impacting students across the board.
Ironically if it were impacting learning I think it would be specifically if ChatGPT was NOT being used across the board, but by only a subset of students. So some kids doing assignments the hard way while others have the equivalent of a calculator/secretary/genii.
But if every student has the same GPT access then the class can simply raise the expectations for the quality of the student work across the board and it's cool again.

There would be no point in augmenting its results with human contributions I don't disagree but in a world where every GPU on the planet is as intelligent as PHD student, the next year each GPU is twice as smart as the smartest human on Earth, and not long after that every person on Earth is either dead or turned in pure energy or something and homework isn't on anyone's mind...

You can’t “raise expectations” to address work being done by LLM based on its corpus instread of students based on their knowledge of the material; it fundamentally eliminates both the direct learning use and the assessment use of certain assignment classes, for those doing it, whether it is consistent across the class or not.
