Assignment Task: How to Ethically Use AI Programs
ChatGPT 4.0 listed the pros and cons of its use in a graduate program:
Pros: ChatGPT can provide instant, comprehensive responses, aiding in research and clarifying complex topics. It's a valuable supplemental tool, enhancing self-paced learning and promoting diverse perspectives.
Cons: Over-reliance on ChatGPT might inhibit critical thinking or original research. It can't replace in-depth mentorship and tailored guidance from human instructors.
The Unethical Approach:
"Submitting a paper written by ChatGPT to grad school is academically dishonest. It undermines the purpose of education, which is to develop one's own analytical and writing skills. Representing AI-generated content as personal work breaches ethical and academic standards, potentially leading to severe consequences, including expulsion. Always prioritize originality and integrity." -ChatGPT 4.0.
