A student uses ChatGPT to complete English homework. The fastest-growing consumer application in history, ChatGPT by OpenAI, was released in November of last year and has since gained enormous popularity across the globe. The chatbot has been attracting attention because of its capacity to hold casual chats with users and respond to a variety of queries.
Now, much to the chagrin of their teachers, kids all around the world are using the bot to finish their homework and tasks.
A Twitter user recently described how his relative was discovered using ChatGPT to complete his English homework as a result of one simple sentence. The homework includes a phrase that is particularly noteworthy: “As an AI language model, I don’t have personal expectations or opinions.” It appears that the seventh-grader copied the chatbot’s reply verbatim and neglected to delete it from his assignment. The slight error later revealed that the work had been plagiarised.
Not only that but the word ‘poignant’ has also been highlighted by the teacher, as class 7 students normally don’t use such mature vocabulary in their answers.
”My little cousin Arjun got caught using ChatGPT on his 7th grade English homework,” reads the tweet shared by Roshan Patel, along with a picture of the assignment.

The tweet has gone viral, amusing internet users who shared a variety of responses. Users wrote how that even for cheating, one needs to apply some thought because a teacher can easily spot a lazy copy-paste hack.
One user wrote, ”Bruh at least read over it… It’s meant to be a tool, not a replacement lmao. I use it to help me formulate ideas and responses, then I add my own language to it.”
Another commented, ”How could he write that sentence without even thinking about it.”
A third said, ”If he made it to 7th grade and didn’t figure out to take that part of the response out, the system is failing our kids.”
”He kinda deserves it, got to learn it the hard way!” wrote a fourth. A fifth added, ”I am getting more and more convinced that ai is for smart people only.”
