What they mean is “I couldn’t write a 10-page paper without ChatGPT.”

We used to have a tradition in this country. A tradition of looking up some other shit people wrote and dumping it into our own lazy, English 101 term papers with the hopes that the graders wouldn't notice.

Are we really so fucking lazy, as a society, that we can't even do plagarism properly anymore?

Unironically, if you aren’t capable of restructuring and consolidating other people’s ideas into your own format, how many modern office jobs are you even qualified for?

That's okay. Chatgpt is taking those jobs too.

I suggest we all get into plumbing. The potential for water damage makes robots less appealing there for the near future.

For the most part the way the average user is… well using chatbots and shit is basically just automated plagiarism on one level or another
