Schools have already started implementing blanket bans on ChatGPT, claiming that it prevents cheating. Receiving real-time feedback on an essay from a GPT certainly gives students an advantage, but I would hesitate to call it cheating. There is a growing uneasiness, particularly among individuals like Paul Graham, that GPTs diminish the importance of writing skills. However, I don't see it that way at all. In a future dominated by language models, written language is more relevant than ever. When I was in school, the existence of YouTube and Google made many classes feel like a farce. You'd go to class, and the teacher would explain a concept so poorly that you would be forced to go home and watch a YouTube video about it. LLMs feel like an extension of this, further diminishing the relevance of in-class learning to actual education. Time will tell if this finally puts an end to the farce.
