1
00:00:01,850 --> 00:00:08,840
Are you a student or anyone that needs to write an essay for school while Chatgpt can do that for you?

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,580
Am I condoning that?

3
00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:12,200
No, absolutely not.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,090
Because there is more to writing an essay than just getting it done.

5
00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:25,160
And this goes into the whole ethics and plagiarism of of how to use Chatgpt in the right way.

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:32,690
So I have to be up front and say that this is not something that I condone or think you should do as

7
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:33,110
a student.

8
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:37,160
Just copy and paste what Chatgpt can can write for you.

9
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:44,960
Obviously we can have a prompt and put in a prompt and tell Chatgpt to write a 500 word essay on a particular

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,920
topic.

11
00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:49,370
But that's not what I'm going to teach you in this lesson.

12
00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:54,440
What I want to teach you is how you can use Chatgpt to improve your essay writing.

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,220
So here on the New York Times, we have a list of 1000 writing prompts.

14
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:02,610
If you just search for New York Times 1000 writing prompts, you can find this list.

15
00:01:02,610 --> 00:01:05,250
And so there's lots of ideas.

16
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:08,160
One that just stood out to me was number 72.

17
00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:11,160
Do you think recreational recreational drones are safe?

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:20,430
So I could literally copy and paste this into Chatgpt and say, Can you write a 500 word essay on this

19
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:21,240
prompt?

20
00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:29,460
And that's the boringest, most simplest, most cheating way to use Chatgpt to write an essay for you.

21
00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:35,280
I will say that classes, teachers, schools are catching up very quickly.

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:44,460
There's lots of tools out there that can tell if an essay is written with a with chatgpt or with the

23
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:45,570
use of AI.

24
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,900
And so if you're trying to get away with this, then one don't do it because it's morally, I believe

25
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:53,280
the wrong thing to do.

26
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,360
I want you to learn as a student and writing essays with your own research, with your own ideas.

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,670
Doing it yourself is the way to improve your writing, and that's going to help out in the long run.

28
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:12,480
I can't tell you how thankful I am that I had very strict tough writing courses in high school because

29
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,160
it helped me in college.

30
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,320
So here we have all of these this this essay basically written for us.

31
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:28,200
I'm just going to show you if I go to chat GPT 0.me, which is just one of the tools that shows if text

32
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,590
is written by AI or not, I can just paste this, get the results and it gives me.

33
00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:38,400
Yes, your text is likely to be written entirely by AI.

34
00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:39,960
Now that's one issue.

35
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:41,280
Is it written by AI?

36
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,980
The other is, is there plagiarism and there's other tools out there that these are actually good If

37
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:54,150
you are using any content, whether you are writing for a website, social media, emails for a business,

38
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:56,310
or if you are writing an essay.

39
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:03,750
grammarly.com has a plagiarism checker, so I can just paste that text again.

40
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,040
Scan for plagiarism.

41
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,120
I like to verify via multiple websites.

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:17,340
So double checker Dupli checker.com is another one and you can get started for free.

43
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:19,620
So I'm going to let that run.

44
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:25,290
Grammarly came back with some plagiarism in this.

45
00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:30,660
So there are some issues and we'll see with double checker some more details on that.

46
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:37,380
So this is very critical when you are writing an essay or any content that you're saying that you're

47
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:38,550
writing yourself.

48
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:40,770
So on one hand.

49
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,800
Submitting this to a test or to a school essay.

50
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,820
Writing competition or school project is not going to fly because there is plagiarism.

51
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:53,890
The other is it's going to be flagged as written by AI.

52
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:02,380
So this is not how I would recommend using Chatgpt to help you write write a an essay.

53
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:08,410
I guess the next thing you could do is read this and make it your own.

54
00:04:08,410 --> 00:04:10,330
And that's what students are going to try to do.

55
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:17,140
Include your own experience examples, add in additional sources and content to make it your own.

56
00:04:17,140 --> 00:04:23,230
But I still believe there there's an ethics line that's being crossed by saying that you're writing

57
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:25,540
this essay and you're just taking it from Chatgpt.

58
00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:31,300
How do I believe you can ethically use Chatgpt to help you write an essay?

59
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,910
One is by finding sources.

60
00:04:33,910 --> 00:04:42,260
So what I can do is write chatgpt to say list ten sources related to the essay.

61
00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:44,130
Prompt.

62
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:46,510
Oops, that's that text.

63
00:04:46,510 --> 00:04:47,650
So let's take this.

64
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,540
Prompt again.

65
00:04:51,890 --> 00:04:56,240
And it's going to give us several links that then we can go find.

66
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:04,550
Instead of having to do the Google search ourself, we can use these links and find information ourselves,

67
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:07,790
craft our own essay.

68
00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:12,890
And this would be very similar to going to Google and doing it ourself, going to a library, which

69
00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:14,780
is what I had to do when I was in school.

70
00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:20,960
Find books and actually read in books, but done in an easier, quicker way.

71
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,500
And I kind of liken this to using a calculator.

72
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:31,220
Yeah, of course you can do mathematical problems long form written on a paper, but a calculator is

73
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:33,020
going to do it much faster.

74
00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:37,880
And so just finding sources this way is going to be very helpful.

75
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:46,310
The other thing you can do is if you have something that you've written, you can ask Chatgpt to proofread

76
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:46,790
it.

77
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:50,420
So I'm going to go to a website that I'm working on.

78
00:05:50,420 --> 00:05:57,660
It's the it's the most similar thing that I have to an essay that I'm currently writing.

79
00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:06,240
So this is sort of a personal personal photo journey website about my time in my hometown.

80
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,190
So I'm just going to copy this text.

81
00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:12,600
I'm going to tell Chatgpt you are a proof reader.

82
00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:18,960
Please fix any grammar or spelling mistakes.

83
00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:30,770
And then I put all the text and then I could go through and I can see the mistakes before and after

84
00:06:30,770 --> 00:06:32,480
if I want to read through this.

85
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,830
But it'll do a good job.

86
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:34,370
Just.

87
00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:40,590
Initially doing a proofreading of grammar and spelling, which is super helpful.

88
00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:48,990
The last thing that I'll say is a little bit on the boundary of ethical, ethical or not is to get chatgpt

89
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:51,930
to help with the outline of an essay.

90
00:06:51,930 --> 00:07:02,280
So I'm going to take this prompt again and I will say write an outline for an essay about this topic

91
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:11,730
and Chatgpt will come up with an outline which then you can go in and write yourself.

92
00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:15,390
Ethically, this is a little bit.

93
00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:17,680
On the fence.

94
00:07:17,690 --> 00:07:24,230
If you're taking this outline and you're then writing all the content yourself, then.

95
00:07:25,470 --> 00:07:34,350
I don't think it's necessarily unethical, but it's still not the point of writing essays as a student,

96
00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:37,200
which is to come up with this yourself.

97
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:44,190
So that's another way you can use Chatgpt to to help you with your essays.

98
00:07:44,190 --> 00:07:55,600
So the plagiarism checker from Dupla Checker did not find any instances of plagiarism, which is interesting.

99
00:07:55,620 --> 00:07:56,970
Grammarly did.

100
00:07:57,330 --> 00:08:02,670
And another one to check out is q.com, but it is a paid service as well.

101
00:08:02,670 --> 00:08:09,330
So this is more if you are a teacher working at a school and you're looking for ways to check essays,

102
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,350
then this is one service that you can do.

103
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:17,790
You get one free test so you can test that out yourself.

104
00:08:17,790 --> 00:08:22,530
So that's how you can write essays with the help of Chatgpt.

105
00:08:22,530 --> 00:08:26,380
And a little bit about my thoughts on the ethics of it as well.
