It’s against your religion to use it. 🤭

What’s the course supposed to be on? Like is there any real justifiable reason they’d have you use it?

One of my biology profs did the same thing. He made required “choose your adventure” assignments where you’d basically read a story and answer questions, but it was ChatGPT generated. He had us individually do it, too. I wasn’t very happy about it, but it was at most once a week (sometimes we would skip a week or two) We had like 8 of those assignments in total

I was going to say it’s a relevant skill that makes sense for profs to teach- bc as an engineering student we have applications for it and certain projects allow it if we explain how we use it but biology??

Did your professor tell you why and what you’re using chat gbt for?

Unless the class doesn’t actually matter to your major, I say don’t drop it. But if it does matter to what you’re majoring in then do drop it and try and enroll in a different one if you can

Its a biology class. Medical terminology. I really don’t see a reason to use it.

His reasoning was to teach us how to use it as a study tool. I get it but it’s currently so dangerous to our environment that I couldn’t be comfortable

I will say as someone who’s biology professor last year encouraged the use of it for one assignment it can make sense

But knowing the context for OP’s class I wouldn’t see a use for Chat GPY

Also, I wouldn’t even trust AI to properly know medical terminology if it doesn’t know there’s three R’s in the word strawberry

Uh I feel like people especially shouldn’t be getting any kind of med info from ChatGPT. FFS ChatGPT told me it was ok to eat under a thousand calories for months when I was anorexic

She’s stupid then because if you can’t teach a coddamn biology class which you studied to teach without AI and killing the environment… you shouldn’t be a professor
