    Another user responded in the chat that slipping in a hidden mechanism to delete other people’s work was “childish” and showed “petulance beyond measure.”

    “other people’s work” lol

        Yeah, sure, but if you delegate so much of your brainpower to the AI, you can hardly call it your work anymore. It becomes a smoothie of other people’s work, filtered through environmental destruction.

            So? If I “write” a thesis by having a ghostwriter cobble together other people’s work, I get a thesis too. I won’t have learned anything, I won’t be able to answer questions about the writing process and I won’t have a leg to stand on if the examiners refuse to accept it, because it’s not my work being thrown out.
