Students are often fully aware their use of ChatGPT is a bad idea. Like the gambling addict, that doesn't mean they stop. Forcing yourself to do your schoolwork has always been difficult, and they've been given a way out.
Often and fully aware? I sincerely doubt it. I’d bet it’s only a tiny minority of students who use ChatGPT who think it’s a bad idea.
Unlike the gambling addict, they can’t feel the immediate repercussions of their actions. Those will only be available in hindsight, long after they can correct.
