Cheating on your college essay with ChatGPT won't get you good grades, say professors — but AI could make education fairer
"We're witnessing the death of the college essay in realtime," said one user on"I'm not a huge fan of the gloom and doom," said Professor Stuart Selber, who teaches English at Pennsylvania State University."Every year or two, there's something that's ostensibly going to take down higher education as we know it. So far, that hasn't happened."
While ChatGPT's writing might seem"quite good in an abstract way", Selber thinks it struggles to address precise or local issues, generate an original argument, or interrogate other arguments rather than just citing them. These are all key aspects of effective essay-writing in his opinion. He's not alone in this assessment. Dr Jacqueline Antonovich, an Assistant Professor at Muhlenberg College,that she put a question from her midterm essays into ChatGPT and the paper it produced"would earn an F. Probably an F- if that's possible."
Henrickson told Insider:"I think there's a lot of potential for helping people express themselves in ways that they hadn't necessarily thought about. This could be particularly useful for students who speak English as a second language, or for students who aren't used to the academic writing style."
