Using ChatGPT instead of learning

Auto-generated transcript:I am on this beach in Maine.
Atlantic Ocean, the tide is just going out.
So this part of the beach is nice and flat and clean.
We can see the waves coming in.
Now you can see the few boats in the distance.
Very, very tranquil, peaceful, wonderful scene.
You've got the gulls doing what gulls do.
Living for fish.
I must recommend this wonderful book called Jonathan Livingston Seagull,
which I suggest you should read.
I think it's one of the finest books to read, to understand,
especially the concept of excellence in life.
I read it.
I read it many times.
The first time I read it when I was in school.
And it teaches the concept of excellence.
In that context, I would also recommend that you read all the books of Ayn Rand.
A-Y-N-R-A-N-D.
It also focuses on the concept of excellence, of taking pride in your work,
of building a legacy that you can be confident and proud about,
leaving behind some traces.
Unlike traces in the sand, which wash off every time the tide comes in.
But these are more long-lasting than that.
Now, all of that comes from one very, very important thing in life,
which is to actually do some work.
Not just the pretense of work.
To actually do some work.
The reason I'm saying that is because,
I was speaking to another very dear friend of mine who's studying,
he's doing his engineering in one of the Ivy League colleges here,
universities in America.
And he was telling me that,
I mean, he said it jokingly,
but obviously he understands the seriousness of that.
So he was telling me that,
people are submitting assignments using ChatGPT.
The whole thing.
And so he said,
professors have now a way of detecting where ChatGPT has been used and catching it.
But he says now they have come up with a tool where they do what is called humanizing ChatGPT.
So you don't get the usual flat kind of writing.
That's what I'm saying.
So you don't get the usual flat kind of writing.
That's what I'm saying.
You find with ChatGPT,
you get something which sort of sounds half a human.
And then of course,
we know how this technology develops and how it will,
it is capable of,
you know,
constantly improving and so on and so forth.
Simultaneously,
and so on.
This is,
I mean,
I think Allah guides and helps in ways we cannot imagine.
So,
while I was listening to this friend of mine saying these things,
I also got a message from another friend of mine who's also doing engineering,
who sent me a New York Times article.
And lo and behold,
to my great delight,
I discovered that New York Times not only published the article,
but New York Times gives that article for you free.
So the firewall,
doesn't affect it.
And I'm going to ask him to put it,
put that article into the description of this,
of this reminder.
And that article talked about an actual case,
complete case history of this person who,
the chatbot convinced him that he was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.
And,
um,
you know,
resulted in him,
in him,
um,
sort of actually falling into mental illness.
And good news is for in his case was that he managed to get out of it as well.
So he was able to break that,
which may not be obviously the case with everyone who falls into that kind of a trap.
So you have this case of these people like that,
uh,
also happening because of chatbot.
Another thing which happened again recently,
and all of these things,
I,
you know,
they happened together,
uh,
which in,
which is a message in itself is,
um,
two people wrote letters,
uh,
in which I was mentioned.
And very interestingly,
both the letters,
although these are two different people writing these two letters,
and,
uh,
they're trying to make it seem as if they are two independent letters,
but they have both used chatdpt,
uh,
very clearly visible from the tone of the letter and so on.
And to the extent that the words they have used are the same,
the exact same words in both the letters.
Now,
so of course it is,
you know,
