I Secretly Let ChatGPT Take My Final Exam — The Results Were Stunning BY Dan Arena VIA Slate

 

I opened with the following comment: Dearest fellow readers. I would like to introduce you to Glenn Peter Thompson. Current and future student in residence.

I hypothesized that demonstrating the fallibility of ChatGPT would be a more effective deterrent than a syllabus policy statement.
