Title: AI Does My Homework. What’s the Problem?
Description: With suitable prompting, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) tools such as Bard and ChatGPT can produce content that receives passing grades – even good grades – in some high school and college courses. GAI tools raise many important questions, some of which we should be asking anyway.
Is it unethical for you to use GAI tools in ways your instructor or GW explicitly forbids? Is it unfair to other students who choose to refrain from such prohibited uses? Do prohibited uses somehow wrong your instructor or GW? Do they make you complicit in questionable practices or systems? How likely is it that you’ll be caught and sanctioned? Assuming you get away with it, is it in your long-term self-interest to keep doing it?
These questions lead to deeper ones. How will your college experience figure in your life after graduation? What purposes does college serve? Should college as we know it continue to exist? What’s your responsibility to future generations?
