Because it was an email about a school shooting, and they left in the message that it was made from ChatGPT. I get using ChatGPT as a starting point for something like this, but it looks like they pasted in something verbatim while barely even reading what they were sending, especially about a sensitive subject, thats pretty careless.

And the hypocrisy that colleges are telling their students not to use the app for their school work and here the college took a shortcut and did just that. It just looks bad.

That's true. They shouldn't have restricted student use.

It’s a tool that enhances the way we do things as a species, why the fuck would they ban it? If anything they should be teaching how to use it and when to use it.

It sounds like they don’t know when to use it either. I mean, if they used it to formulate a draft and built on top of that, I don’t feel like that would have been a bad move.

To post something verbatim is insane on any level. Even if it was a mundane thing, the idea is AI is there to assist, not replace.
