Seems like a problem that much journalism on #ChatGPT and punditry on AI and student #writing ... doesn't actually ask the students. They're experimenting and taking away different lessons:

- “Writing an AI generated paper was far more difficult than I would have expected.”
- “I would compare collaborating with [GPT-3] to being teamed up with the class ‘slacker.’”
- “I feel as though it would be much more effective for me to just write alone.”
- “Writing my prompts still required critical thought”
“This experiment altered my view of the definition of what qualifies as writing” and
? “I would recommend every person do a writing [experiment] similar to this one before they form any hard beliefs on AI-assisted writing”
