I feel like anyone who claims chatgpt is helping them work is just telling on themselves as trying to do things out of their depth and producing output they don't understand well enough to vet.
I have plenty of criticism for chatGPT. It attempts to fake nuance by creating shallow syntheses of conflicting info. It doesn’t understand anything it talks about systemically. It has no insight into the user.
But it can regurgitate a list that you can use to structure your answer to a student’s question. It’s interesting to me because people do want me to believe it’s coming for my job. It’s a way off yet.
Certainly I find that it reminds me of what I know that it doesn’t.
Thinking about it more fully it’s like it pulls the “Cunningham’s Law” trigger in me that a lazy question just can’t.
