Letter to the Editor: Chat GPT

BY BECKY EASTON

Dean of Liberal Arts

I don’t disagree with Mr. de Jesus’s comment in the March 2 issue, titled “New AI technology presents challenges” when he states, “So, this is going to be a problem for instructors for a while.” While I don’t disagree, I hope to point out that it’s a minor problem for professors, who were educated during a time when cheating was harder than it is now with ChatGPT.

It’s a much bigger problem for students who want technology to do their mental work for them.

When faculty were students, they almost certainly did their own research and wrote their own papers. That is why they know so much today. These activities build critical thinking skills along the way.
