It AIn't cheatin'

First of all, ChatGPT is an amazing learning tool. It can help you understand tricky topics like maths, science and even writing. If you’re stuck, it can explain things in a simple way, like a friendly tutor who’s always there to help.

Secondly, it saves time and reduces stress. Have you ever been sitting in class and had no idea where to start or what to do? You could type a small sentence or two into ChatGPT and it will give you a bunch of examples instantly. Instead of spending ages trying to figure out where to start an assignment, ChatGPT can help you plan it. It gives ideas and suggestions, but you still do the thinking and writing.

Some people say it’s cheating, but that’s not true – not if you use it properly. It’s the same as using a calculator or a dictionary. It’s not doing your work for you; it’s helping you learn. If you do not understand something, you can enter what you are doing and then it will simplify it for you. It’s not doing the understanding; it’s helping you to get there.

Finally, using technology like ChatGPT prepares us for the future. AI is becoming a big part of the world and learning how to use it responsibly is an important skill. Around 122 MILLION people use ChatGPT a day and I am one of them.  So, let’s not ban it. Let’s teach students how to use it wisely – because AI can make learning easier, smarter and way more fun.
