ChatGPT is a bullshit generator but it can still be amazingly useful
In other words, it disrupts classroom assignments where the student is being asked to produce bullshit <i>but</i> where historically the easiest way to produce that bullshit was via a process that was supposedly valuable to the student's education. The extent to which a teacher cannot distinguish a human-generated satisfactory essay from an essay generated by a bullshit generator is by definition <i>precisely</i> the extent to which the assignment is asking the student to generate bullshit. This will certainly require a lot of reworking of these traditional curriculums that consist heavily of asking the student to generate bullshit, but maybe that wasn't the best way to educate students this whole time.
