I had a friend in a class today where you need to know the programming language C in order to do the class. But now with ChatGPT available, I told them it probably wasn’t that big of an issue, as you could probably have ChatGPT teach you C as you go through the class. I probably would have told them they should drop the class just one semester ago (before ChatGPT).
My personal analogy has been that these chat bots are like a structural speed up for humans in a similar way that Google Docs and Drive were for working on documents and files with people—it’s a free service that everyone just has access to now to talk through ideas or learn things. It’s ethical to use, and if you don’t use it, you’ll probably not be as capable as those who do.
Please do tell what those superpowers are!
