The summer is over, schools are back, and the data is in: ChatGPT is mainly a tool for cheating on homework.::ChatGPT traffic dropped when summer began and schools closed. Now students are back, and they're using the AI tool again more.

It's a godsend honestly. I just went back to school at damn near 40 and with a full time job. ChatGPT has made getting through my school work so much easier and faster. I would have never had the patience or time to do college work without it.

Same tbh. I'm using bing search as it gives me relevant sources as well - to fact check the output. As a bonus, it leads me to websites that aren't seo spam. Google search is officially worse than Bing in my books.

Good on us for keeping up with the times, I say.

You can get chatGPT to write something with sources listed as well, just depends on how you prompt it. I do always proofread and edit its output though. Really is a super useful tool.

Doesn't it just hallucinate a bunch of URLs?

Couple times I've used it the sources were right.
