A lecturer in my university gave the class an assignment to be submitted in 3 days. As expected, he warned against copying off of others and plagiarism. He also strongly advised against using AI software like chat gpt to write the assignment.

“I know all your tricks because I was a student myself. If you lift this assignment from chat gpt or meta, I will know

For some reason I believed him —he’s in his early thirties so he’s very much in tune with modern technology. I decided to jettison my plans to be lazy and just go the hard way.

My friend on the other hand was still adamant. He had a foolproof masterplan to bypass the prying eyes of a man who, from all indications, had all the time in the world to go through each submission with a fine-toothed comb. You want to know what it was?

“I’ll just ask chat gpt to make the story more human and less like AI”

(Cue the Tony Stark eye roll gif —please tell me you get the reference)

Never in my life had I witnessed such dumbassry. Over two decades spent on earth and the best his brain could conjure up was to essentially tell chat gpt to not be chat gpt?
