Dumb kid: asks ChatGPT to write their essay for them then hands it in unchanged
Smart kid: asks ChatGPT to write first draft of their essay, then they rearrange the order, add some more points, cut out some repetition, reword it a bit, Google some real references (as opposed to the fake ones ChatGPT invents), etc. Maybe even ask ChatGPT to write two (or more) essays, and merge the best bits from each
Okay, if the kid is smart enough to do a good job of all that, maybe they don’t need ChatGPT to write their essay for them. But sometimes getting started is the hardest part
