It's not even good but people are still using it as a crutch instead of doing work.

So many of my classmates freely admit to using AI for doing their homework. They don't even seem to recognize it is cheating. (I get why people would cheat, but can you at least have the sense to realize what you're doing is cheating?)

Then I had a professor who, having not taught the class in years, used Chatgpt to come up with ideas for a project we could choose from. Except 90% of those ideas just couldn't reasonably be done in an educational setting.

So many other people seem to be completely reliant on it for doing random things. I mean, just look at all the people on this subreddit just posting AI generated answers to questions. What's even the point of that? You don't even know if it's right. Just use google and find the most reliable source you can, it's not hard.

And I stand by the position that it does shoddy work. After working with groupmates on projects where they clearly use AI, I am confident I can easily do a better job than whatever they're scraping together with chatgpt.

This stuff was introduced what, three years ago? And it's suddenly everywhere? How? It's hardly even good at what it does.
