Because I've been asked privately a few times what I think of students using #ChatGPT to cheat with essays and stuff, just a very short word on that here:
It's completely understandable in a society that teaches people that degrees are more important than skills.
One day they will get caught out. out of interest does ChatGPT write essays that are fully cited, with references,biblograplies, lists of tables, figures etc. As you would find in full academic papers.
Well, it can do citations. But all the ones I checked were made up.
Here's what I wrote a while ago for my students:

Thanks for this, really useful,
I can see a few students failing over using this, which while I only did a certificate in science with the OU the essays are HARD WORK to do.
Students who don't put in effort don't deserve to get good grades over those who put in the real effort of research, writing, referencing etc.
