Reply to comment by Greessey in ChatGPT: students could use AI to cheat, but it's a chance to rethink assessment altogether by calliope_kekule

I'm doing a sort of flipside to this. I have to write a big-effort research paper over the course of the semester, but the prompt is extremely open-ended and I don't really know where to go with it. I've got until Feb 1st to figure out something interesting to write about, and as a last ditch, I'm probably just gonna ask ChatGPT to give me a list of prompts. CGPT has an "issue" where it will effectively just make things up because there's no problem solving underneath to actually check if its statements are accurate, but it's great for inspiration.

And I think that's a great way to use it. There's such things as having prompts that are too open. I've used cgpt in similar ways as well.

Idk where I heard this, but constraint breeds creativity. Being confined to a prompt can create wonderful results. I just appreciate being able to act on an idea I may have instead.
