Artificial intelligence will shape the future. Every student has heard of ChatGPT, an infamous A.I. tool that’s been dominating students’ lives for over a year. Though I do believe the cons of this tool are substantial in their own right, the pros most certainly outweigh them.

Cheating? Almost every teacher considers using ChatGPT as a form of academic dishonesty. Though it can be at times, using this tool doesn’t always equate to cheating on an assignment or assessment. This tool has many benefits that can assist students and teachers in the academic workspace. For instance, ChatGPT improves accessibility to education for those who may not speak the English language or for those with disabilities. Additionally, ChatGPT may aid educators in developing lesson plans or creating challenging questions for their lessons. Furthermore, ChatGPT can assist students in studying for an assessment by answering questions they find difficult or making them aware of what skills/information they must work on to pass the test.

Overall, ChatGPT is often frowned upon amongst teachers, but when one examines the number of benefits granted by this A.I. tool, it can easily alter one’s position on the ChatGPT debate.
