If that's true, he deserves to be sacked for not reading the fine prints when he used ChatGPT. Or even to base his actions on a beta AI program.Professor Flunks All His Students After ChatGPT Falsely Claims It Wrote Their Papers (https://www.rollingstone.com/cultur...ssor-flunks-students-false-claims-1234736601/)
Apparently he used the thing to find out if the students had used the thing to write their papers, and it falsely (for at least some students) claimed it had written the paper.
It's an old and odd race between professors and students. The professors are teaching their courses to the students, and the students are teaching technology to the professors.
A few years ago, students could put formulas and documents in calculators like the HP-28/48 and later series. Then they could verify the grammar and spelling of their work, or use Math tools to solve differential equations. Then they had smartphones. Now they'll soon have AI. And each time the professors have to find tricks so their students don't cheat.
