Jan 10, 2023 – Despite fears about ChatGPT enabling cheating and destroying education, it seems that “ChatGPT is more hype than harm”.

On the humanities side, papers have been for sale for years. Educators and admissions officers are not only well aware of these “services,” but have learned how to spot and work around them.” Read this Forbes article to understand ChatGPT’s possibility for good.
