The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they’re using the AI tool again more.

    ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.

    I disagree. The chart shows a 12% growth. How does it make ChatGPT a tool that is mainly being used by students? Some of these 12% are probably people, who came back from vacations.

      That’s me, yup. Barely touched it over the summer, but I use it all the time to help lesson plan, invent fake case studies, and more.

      Also, not necessarily cheating even if used for school. I have a college professor that words homework so weird, I run it through ChatGPT to “translate”
