University student uses ChatGPT for writing 2,000 word essay; clears exams with passing grades

Firstpost  

Within two months of its launch, ChatGPT - the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI - has already got the world talking, thanks to its quick skills to respond to any kind of prompt and spit out some proper answers on any topic virtually. This time a grad student got the chatbot into play for writing an essay for his exam and guess what it did so and helped him clear the paper with passing grades. Student writes 2,000-word in 20 minutes with ChatGPT As reported by The Independent, the student identified as Pieter Snepvangers used the AI chatbot for an assessment to create a 2,000-word essay, and as expected ChatGPT completed it in just 20 minutes. Pieter, who graduated from college last year, submitted his essay to the teachers who found it a “little fishy” as it lacked depth and proper analysis of the topic. While he asked the faculty to check the essay for its validity, he was shocked to find a professor admitting that “students can cheat their way to a passing grade” with the chatbot.
