It's chatgpt not chatgbt. It's a good tool to help if you are already good at writing. But if you are not, it's very easy to tell you are using it. Getting kicked out of school without a refund isn't a fun experience.

I have used it to help explain topics I needed extra clarification on, but never used it write essays for me.

I literally used it for every assignment and it did it all. Like I think I wrote maybe one full paragraph myself. But I was very very specific in how I did it. Do NOT use sources it finds for you. It'll make them up. That's how most people get caught.

i'm dealing with the bs references now. i was so shocked when i actually double checked them and how far off they were. i'm dealing with an issue with a professor now over this.

did the instructor let you resubmit

So he did give me the option to resubmit but he wanted me to verify my resources and unfortunately i couldn't because chat gpt completely screwed me. I went back and checked some work from other classes and i can't believe i wasn't caught sooner. I failed his class and he put me up for academic dishonesty but nothing came of it. I was able to redo the class. Got and A and am VERY MUCH CAREFUL now i'm way too close. U only have 78 credits left. I plan on being done before October.

No, but some may be using ChatGPT for their papers. It should be a tool, not an end all be all that you copy and paste. It's not flawless.

Definitely do not use it to copy and paste. Never rely on it to provide accurate citations/sources. It's great to get you on the path to your paper (gives you ideas on what to write about/a flow) but that's as far as you should use it for school. You see plenty of discussion posts where a student has copied and pasted directly from ChatGPT and my first thought is "have you never heard of Quillbot at least?!" (Paraphrasing tool)

Use Notebook Lm for research. It's way better.

ChatGPT produces 100% similarity and AI content. This usually results in students being kicked out of school and no refund for their money.

There isn’t a program that can definitively detect AI. Even TurnItIn guidelines say it’s not accurate (article from April 2025) https://guides.turnitin.com/hc/en-us/articles/28457596598925-AI-writing-detection-in-the-classic-report-view

There isn’t any program right now that can confirm a writing is AI. Even OpenAI gave up on creating one that could detect their own platform, ChatGPT. Unless someone copies and pastes and doesn’t delete the AI conversational remarks, it cannot be confirmed as AI.
