In reply to the discussion: A CNN article says some students at Yale now can't even talk in class without using ChatGPT to coach them [View all]

(54,957 posts)25. My senior thesis in 1979:
I started the research at least nine months before its dissertation.
I stopped typing the final copy to hand in to the professors 24 hours before the dissertation.
My bibliography at seven pages.
Footnotes: OMG, a plethora on each page, some annotated.
I earned the right to graduate from my college because of all the work I did on that thesis.
AI minimalizes the college and research experience. Mocks it.
