ChatGPT: Savior or Menace?

The versatile tool, ChatGPT, is a practical technological invention, because of its persistent availability, providing of human-like responses, and its various writing tactics to assist you in improving your work.

The ChatGPT is a highly advanced language model that can be utilized to give efficient responses to various user inquires, making it an invaluable tool for enhancing communication, and learning in various fields.

Could you tell that the second thesis statement was written by ChatGPT? Both the student and chat bot were directed to write a thesis statement on the usefulness of ChatGPT.

As humans, we have abidingly been invested in new technological advances, but is it considered cheating or an assistant in personal creativity? The usage of AI technology has been a contentious interpretation of this concept. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) that was published in November of 2022 by Open AI. Users of this invention can have text-based discussions on a variety of subjects. The model is able to comprehend and produce text in a variety of languages, and it can offer precise and illuminating responses to queries on a wide range of topics. According to EHL Hospitality Business School, the famous chat bot has reached over 100 million monthly users in the span of two months, and the reactions and usages of the AI varies throughout schools.

AI technology is perhaps underestimated in the educational world. As a computer science teacher, is this easier to understand and identify
