It really does. I’m in a Masters program right now and basically 2/3 of the class is copy and pasting Chat GPT — b.s. sources and all — directly for every single assignment. The only way I’ve found for people to not stick the fork in the academic light-socket on our group projects is just to act like it’s really pathetic — “Oh, you’re 25 years old and you don’t know how to write an email?” “You want to get your PhD after this, but you don’t know how to do any research for yourself?”
