When ChatGPT was launched in late 2022, teachers around the world became concerned about cheating with the help of AI. Students in schools and colleges were strictly instructed not to use any AI tools. ChatGPT will not work for homework, nor will essays written by AI be accepted. Students were told to work on their own, otherwise, the results will not be good, but the question is, what if the teacher himself uses ChatGPT?
A student of Northeastern University in America caught her professor making notes with ChatGPT, and now she is demanding her tuition fees back. Yes, while students are getting punished for using AI, now students are also trying to apply the same rule on teachers: "No AI use."
How was the secret revealed?
Ella Stapleton, a business student at Northeastern University, found something strange in the notes of her "Organisational Behaviour" class. It was written in one place: "expand on all areas. Be more detailed and specific." It was a clear ChatGPT prompt. Ella told the New York Times, “I thought, did my professor copy-paste an answer from ChatGPT?” Then she dug deeper. Slide decks and assignments contained many more clues, such as AI-generated images, distorted fonts, and spelling mistakes.
Demanded the $8,000 tuition fee back
Ella filed a formal complaint with the university's business school and demanded a refund of the tuition fee of $8,000 (about Rs 6.5 lakh) for that class. She said, “When we are prohibited from using AI, then why should the professor be exempted?”
Resentment grew among students.
Such incidents are no longer limited to just one student. On websites like 'Rate My Professors', many students are complaining about teachers who are giving AI-generated slides, robotic feedback, and boring lectures, which seem to be the inner voice of ChatGPT.
Teachers argue that AI makes work easier.
Teachers are arguing that AI tools make their work easier and help in preparing content, while students demand that if AI is being used, then they should be given complete information about it.
