Cheating on your college essay with ChatGPT won't get you good grades, say professors -- but AI could make education fairer

An updated version of artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT was launched by OpenAI on November 30. Its ability to write in an intelligent and human-like manner left users impressed -- and also a little bit frightened. People have used ChatGPT to write entire blocks of code, television scripts, and even complete academic essays -- sparking fears that students might use the bot to cheat their way to an easy A. "We're witnessing the death of the college essay in realtime," said one user on Twitter. But some college professors aren't that concerned. "I'm not a huge fan of the gloom and doom," said Professor Stuart Selber, who teaches English at Pennsylvania State University.
