UCLA Students Flexes Using ChatGPT During Grad Ceremony
Pull his degree!
Published 5 months ago in Facepalm
A recent New York Magazinearticle detailed how pretty much everyone in college is using ChatGPT to pass their classes. This is bad for a lot of reasons (“Sorry I messed up your surgery — I passed that class thanks to Grok!”), but one of the things that annoys me about it the most is that people aren’t even ashamed about it. I’m totally fine with people admitting they’re a dumbass, but being a proud dumbass? Unforgivable!
Now, as many Seniors are graduating from college, some are openly attributing the success of their degree to ChatGPT — including this guy, who had the gall to shout out the LLM during the ceremony itself.
