We are shocked, shocked, that students at Cape Coral High School, Florida–supposedly a school for stellar students–have been accused of having robots write their essays (https://nypost.com/2023/02/16/chatgpt-cheating-scandal-erupts-at-florida-high-school/).
Ah, memories! When I graduated from college in 1971, with no desire to sit or stand in classrooms for the rest of my life, I soon discovered that the only damned thing I’d learned how to do was to write term papers. There was no place for me in the labor market. But then someone came along offering, for a fee, to write college students’ term papers for them. I got a job doing that, and prospered–until killjoys in the legislature banned it.
Well, this is the same thing, isn’t it?
“Educators” are scandalized. Pardon me for laughing. How can any leftid fresh out of a teachers’ college possibly tell right from wrong? But this ChatGPT cheating scandal” involving “the fastest-growing app in history” (zzzzzz….) is now going to be fraught with “potentially life-altering consequences” (cue beating drums of doom).
Don’t make me laugh. They steal elections, sterilize children, abort babies–and they’re scandalized by academic cheating??? In the age of Hunter Biden, they’re distressed by bogus term papers?
Yes, we do need revival! The current state of our culture is disgusting! Bring us back to our senses, O God! Bring us back to you! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
