I teach my writing class today. I'm supposed to talk about ChatGPT. Here's what I will say.
NEVER USE CHATGPT. YOU ARE HERE TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE ABOUT SCIENCE, YOU WILL NOT ACCOMPLISH THAT BY USING A GODDAMNED CRUTCH THAT WILL JUST MAKE SHIT UP TO FILL THE SPACE. WRITE. WRITE WITH YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR HANDS. DON'T ASK A DUMB CYBERMONKEY TO DO IT FOR YOU.
