Just a lil life story, but my dad's a pretty busy dude. Like, seriously. Man always has a full schedule and often sacrifices sleep to get things done. All that considered, when asked to write a report on something, he decided to use ChatGPT to save time.
It was quite interesting seeing all the text pop up on screen. Even I could hatefully admit its speed and convenience.
Though, I reminded him to double-check the work it did, just in case. He'd asked for citations on it, after all. And, well, thing after thing, situation after situation, issues popped up, and he started running out of time. I could tell he was exhausted, so I offered to check the work for him instead.
He said sure, so I started looking through.
The good news was that ChatGPT at least sited statutes that exist. The bad news was that it occasionally sited the wrong statutes and even misunderstood or miswrote which legal or government party did what. So, I read through a bit of dense legalese to figure out which points to rewrite. And while reading, I added more points to it.
He's triple-checking what I finished since he, like, knows this stuff, and he thanked me just now for the work I did. Very accurate, well-cited, and thorough.
I felt he was thankful enough when I heard him get a solid three hours of good, earnest, snore-deep sleep while I was reviewing the paper before I went to bed myself.
So, yeah, I don't like ChatGPT still. Very much hate it for various reasons.
That said, I can understand its utility and convenience in a world that constantly demands more of their workers while providing fewer benefits. I personally wouldn't use it, but I'm not gonna constantly dog my dad over it, y'know?
At the same time, one should only use ChatGPT if they already know how to write, research, and produce concise arguments or details with accuracy. Otherwise, you'd look like a straight up fool without knowing, lol. You have to know the basics to use the cheats efficiently.
...Or you could, like, not use ChatGPT at all.
Just cause I won't dog my dad about it, doesn't mean I won't constantly mention how much I hate it, kekeke.
