There are those who believe that using Chat-GPT is considered cheating as it facilitates academic dishonesty by providing complete articles, solving math problems, and answering questions based on a simple sentence structure. Unlike traditional citation practices, Chat-GPT goes beyond copying existing content and generates original content, undermining academic integrity.
Furthermore, Chat-GPT is used for cheating not only in higher education but also in classrooms from kindergarten to twelfth grade, as many teachers have reported catching students cheating using Chat-GPT.
On the other hand, proponents of Chat-GPT argue that it is similar to a calculator, serving as a tool to assist with complex calculations but not replacing genuine understanding. They also claim that using Chat-GPT can enhance critical thinking by saving students’ time in analyzing complex concepts while the tool handles simple tasks.
