ChatGPT is just like a calculator. We should allow it, but you should be able to prove you still know the material. This is where things like written exams still win (but not everything has to be a written exam).
My takeaway from this is: good riddance, just fix the way we teach students instead. The most painful part of school for me was the real awareness that not every question is valid, and most often the throwaway work given to you (vs. that of, say, exams) was most often the most junk & inane work you could do. (NB: I've got ADHD, and for me that worked out to always underperforming and missing homework but doing great on exams.)
How can the state of education reinvent itself to embrace ChatGPT, computer science, and yes, even calculators—teachers need to stop plugging their ears and pretending these good tools don't exist.
