#if we can both agree that it's glorified autofill and a dangerous tool to let people use if they do not realize it cannot fact check

This morning I got into a debate about ChatGPT which is already not a pleasant experience and it was with my bio prof which is a less pleasant experience but the most batshit thing about it is how the debate started. Because what happened is that the class was about blood (normal thing to learn about in a human biology class) and because it's October the prof included a picture of Dracula on the first slide. That's fine, that's good, that's cool. He asked, "We'll have to be in class on Halloween, should I tell everyone they have to dress up?" Normal thing to say when class is just starting, imo. I responded with what I think is an equally normal thing - "I'm already dressing up, one of my professors is offering extra credit if I dress as a literary character." And he paused, and he thought about it, and he said, "Literature professors - they're real scary about using ChatGPT."

SIR??? WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?
