DEBATE CLUB #9: ChatGPT : Progress or Danger?
ChatGPT is having and will have a tremendous impact on our daily lives. On the positive side it could increase our productivity and automate tedious tasks. On the negative side AI can generate misinformation, increase plagiarism and reduce original and critical thinking skills as students and teachers rely on machines rather than coming up with new ideas themselves.
