Some teachers say things like „I ban the use of ChatGPT for doing lessons/assignments.”.
It might look counterintuitive – why do so? ChatGPT is here to stay, it’s a tool; why not use it, if it’s available?
The thing is, by „manually” doing an assignment, you get some skills and habits. If you write a piece of text, some connections form in your mind. If you do some manual research, you learn some things on how to search. If you manually draw conclusions, you learn how to think logically.
I tend to use ChatGPT for getting ideas, but I also refine results using my judgment.
And still do some things „by hand”.
There are chess tournaments that are between human-only players.

We know that computers are better than humans at chess. But we want to see humans competing.
And for learning chess, humans have to learn by repeating things.
