ChatGPT is beyond cheating. We have to go on the default that it is applied in essay writing. And surely you agree that it is pointless to assess the output of a machine. Therefore, essay writing will cease to be a method of assessment, and consequently, whichever way you look at it, future students will no longer learn to write.

Reply to comment by BrotherAmazing in [D] Can ChatGPT flag it's own writings? by MrSpotgold

This software is a nightmare for anyone in the teaching business (whether secondary school or higher education) where assessments is based on essays. I'm not kidding: a nightmare. We are going to bring up kids who will not be able write a comprehensive text simply because we lack the means to check that they wrote it themselves, and therefore we must abandon the assessment method altogether. It's that bad.

Reply to During the covid pandemic lots of medical scientific articles got published and then retracted due to errors, frauds and misconducts. In this study the authors explore what went wrong in the scientific path to publication and peer review process by AromaticChimpanzee

I reviewed a paper for a Q1 journal about COVID19 and had serious issues with it. Paper was published anyway, and now I use it as an example of bad practice in my lectures. Oh, and I will never review for that journal in my life.

Reply to LPT Request: Is there a way to block all posts about Elon Musk and Twitter? by soundplusfury

I recall that there was an app for browsers to replace the word "Trump" by anything you wanted (I chose "Twat") and replace photo's of him by pictures of kittens. I hope someone puts it to market for Musk (which I would replace by "Irrelevant Individual." Such that you get headines like "Things Former Twitter Employees Said About Irrelevant Individual That Got Them Fired."
