CHATGPT

continued from page 3 is,” Hardiman said. “You can tell this is like a computer-generated thing because it’s stylistic. There’s a stock style that comes off; it’s just not human about it. Whether it’s dry, whether it is somewhat robotic.”

Henry Schaffer, professor emeritus in genetics and biomathematics and former coordinator of special IT projects at NC State, said he has been working and keeping up with new innovations in the fields of computing and the internet ever since the internet was first invented. He said he has used ChatGPT as a tool to quickly learn subjects from different sources without repeating the same information.

Due to ChatGPT’s ease of use and free accessibility, some of the largest school moved.”

Flowers said King’s legacy shaped her understanding of activism and leadership.

“Dr. King did more than dream we would love one another,” Flowers said. “He dreamed and understood it to be crucial that we loved ourselves, especially we as Black people. …

If I didn’t love myself, my skin, my people, I wouldn’t have had the courage to move. I would have only marched.” gay-audre said the march was the final event of the 2023 Martin Luther King Jr. Campus Commemoration Week to help students reflect on the events throughout the week, which districts across the country have banned it for the opportunity it presents students to let it do classwork for them, according to Chalkbeat. In terms of academic dishonesty when using the program, Hardiman said the University has no intention of banning the program, and instead is letting professors decide whether it can be used or not in their classes.

“When we talk to faculty members, it’s not the use of plagiarism software that ticks them off or alerts them to say, ‘Hey, this looks like the student plagiarized,’ or, ‘they copied,’ or something like that,” Hardiman said. “Generally speaking, when they’re reading through a student’s paper, they’re like, ‘This doesn’t sound right. I’ve read the student’s other work. This doesn’t sound like them.’”

Schaffer said ChatGPT raises many questions that push the boundaries of what plagiarism is known as.

“I asked a group of faculty if I copy 100 was centered around the theme of renaissance.

“We wanted to culminate the end of a week of keynotes, to think about the Renaissance and to deliver a message of movement, of ‘What does it mean to physically move, as well as to engage in movement throughout the course of a week?’” gay-audre said. “So we wanted to culminate with a march that’s demonstrative in nature.”

Flowers said she was excited to engage with members of the campus community as an alumna.

“There are only nine other Black [student body] presidents who have served, and so sentences sequentially out of somebody’s work, if that’s plagiarism — yes,” Schaffer said. “If I have 100 books in front of me, and I copy one sentence out of each book and put them, and that’s my essay, is that plagiarism? And people said, ‘Ah, I’m not sure.’ Well, if I copy two to fourword phrases out of 10,000 books, is that plagiarism?”

When prompted to use the program for the first time, Matthew Watson, a second-year studying agricultural business, asked ChatGPT to write a rap song about his life.

“Well, I’ve never heard of it before, but it is kind of mind blowing that–I mean, it’s still writing out like we’re on the fourth verse now,” Watson said. “I definitely feel like it’d be plagiarism just because they’re taking the information from the internet somewhere, and you’re not citing it.”

Schaffer said other new developments many of them immediately messaged me after I won and said, ‘I’m here to support you, if you have any questions, if you just need to rant, if something’s going wrong — I’m here, others were here for me,’” Flowers said. “And so when I got a call to potentially come speak, I was excited to share about my experience and enjoy campus and be back especially after being interestingly positioned during COVID-19. It’s great to see how lively things are.” in technology that are widely used now have also garnered negative attention in the past, such as spell-checkers that are built-in to programs like Google Docs.

Hardiman said using ChatGPT for the purpose of letting the program complete assignments is not only going to be obvious in some cases but detrimental to the value students get out of college.

“At the end of the day, you’re paying money to come to NC State,” Hardiman said. “At the end of this experience, the goal is to earn a degree to say that you’ve demonstrated proficiency in whatever discipline and that you should be able to go off and utilize this now and [in] whatever workforce environment you want. The goal should be to actually learn the material. So we often share that if you’re using these — any of these are engaging in any acts of cheating — first and foremost, the primary person you’re cheating is yourself.”
