College students sitting in a lecture hall
Professor Megan Fritts caught several students using ChatGPT in the first week of the semester.
  • A teacher's students ChatGPT for a simple introductory assignment in an ethics and technology class.
  • Professor Megan Fritts shared her concerns on X, sparking debate on AI's role in education.
  • Educators are divided on AI's impact, with some feeling it undermines critical thinking skills.

Professor Megan Fritts' first assignment to her students was what she considered an easy A: "Briefly introduce yourself and say what you're hoping to get out of this class."

Yet many of the students enrolled in her Ethics and Technology course decided to introduce themselves with ChatGPT.
