>This sentence is out of nowhere, did ChatGPT write this article? How could someone think something so new is suddenly negatively impacting students across the board.

Ironically if it were impacting learning I think it would be specifically if ChatGPT was NOT being used across the board, but by only a subset of students. So some kids doing assignments the hard way while others have the equivalent of a calculator/secretary/genii.

But if every student has the same GPT access then the class can simply raise the expectations for the quality of the student work across the board and it's cool again.
