Well, let's take the first case in more detail. Is it unethical to talk to ChatGPT about your homework in the first place? I don't think that seems right. Many times it will just be a helpful advisor and you will really learn a lot from its responses.
So, you ask ChatGPT about your homework question, and sometimes it turns out it just gives you the perfect answer. What now? You can't un-see the answer. If not even rewriting the answer makes it ethical, are you just trapped and there is no ethical way to handle this situation? You could conclude it's unethical to use ChatGPT for anything homework-related, that is at least consistent.
- allturtles 3y agoLet's consider the original framing: "You tell ChatGPT your homework question and ask what's the answer." You aren't asking for help with the homework in this framing, you're just asking for the answers so you don't have to actually do it. I don't think this scenario raises any new, difficult ethical questions; it's exactly equivalent to copying the homework of a friend.
