ChatGPT vs. Grammarly: Are They Cheating?

This video addresses the question of AI tools and cheating by comparing the two leading AI writing tools: ChatGPT and Grammarly on the basis of:
🔹 **Versatility**: Both provide more than just corrections. They can generate creative content, answer questions, provide explanations, and simulate conversations, making them multifaceted tools for writers, students, and professionals.
🔹 **Context Understanding**: Both understand context, allowing for more accurate suggestions and edits based on the intended message and audience.
🔹 **Learning and Adaptation**: ChatGPT learns from each interaction to provide more personalized responses over time, adapting to your writing style and preferences. This feature is not as developed in Grammarly.
You’ll find detailed examples and real-time demonstrations, helping you decide which tool best suits your writing needs, whether you're drafting an essay, composing an email, or creating content.
Bottom Line: Neither is a form of cheating when used responsibly.

Thank you, Professor, for sharing this insight. In my view, the utilization of tools such as ChatGPT and Grammarly does not constitute cheating, provided that the original sources are accurately attributed. As a non-native speaker, I find that these tools significantly enhance productivity and reduce costs associated with academic writing, particularly in proofreading and generating content ideas. Furthermore, these advancements obviate the need for engaging costly services of proofreaders and ghostwriters. Ultimately, it is imperative to meticulously review all outputs generated by artificial intelligence and ensure they are corroborated by valid sources.

Thanks for weighing in! Grammarly traveled the same journey on the way to full acceptance. It's always been the same story with innovations in writing technology.

I teach English composition classes in Haiti and see the use of an AI writing assistant as cheating. If an ESL student uses a ChatBot for writing assignments, how will she/he/they/ever learn to write?

You seem to be in an either/or situation: Either the use of ChatGPT is cheating or it isn't. However, teachers today need to be aware of the many ways assignments can be constructed so as to prevent or minimize the unethical use of ChatGPT, because denying students any use of AI tools is not the answer. We must adapt to them, not the other way around. Here's a good article on how to design assignments that prevent ChatGPT cheating. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5SXlZmcndZ9fsUsi=W8k5YL0YmpRGRo9X I often ask students to record themselves with an app like FlipGrid to present their assignments, to do revisions that reflect my specific feedback, and so on. In the meantime, there are lots of ethical uses of ChatGPT that teachers can employ. Hey, sounds like a good idea for my next video!

@@peakdavid Shortly after this note from you, I received an essay from a student with complex sentence structure, advanced vocabulary, and perfect punctuation. I gave the student a ZERO for using AI. Here is one sentence he wrote in his defense, "Mr Trout, I know very well if i use chat, you will give me zero and I will lost the semester" For my Haitian English composition students, AI has nothing positive to add. BTW, I often use your KZbin videos in my class.

Now that the student has found AI chatbots, seems like the door is open for instruction on how to use them ethically.
