PSA on ChatGPT and Academic Integrity

PSA on ChatGPT and Academic Integrity

As a language model, ChatGPT has the ability to generate written responses to prompts, and I’ve seen some students using it to complete assignments and even take online exams.

On one hand, it’s impressive that technology has advanced to the point where a machine can produce written responses that are indistinguishable from those of a human. But on the other hand, using ChatGPT to cheat on assignments and exams undermines the educational process and devalues the hard work of those who have earned their grades honestly.

It’s important to remember that academic integrity is a fundamental principle in education, and using tools like ChatGPT to cheat is a violation of that principle. I urge everyone to consider the consequences of using these technologies in an academic setting and to always strive for honesty and integrity in their work

====================

This prompt was generated by ChatGPT. Imagine what essay prompts can it generate. But stop right there. Turnitin already working on AI detection (https://www.turnitin.com/blog/ai-writing-the-challenge-and-opportunity-in-front-of-education-now), last semester there were 10 cases of AI-based violations of academic integrity. Please read your syllabus carefully and be mindful of what tools you use.

​

TL;DR: The use of ChatGPT is detectable and can be treated as cheating.
