When others are creating and consuming synthetically generated content like flying drones in a perpetual hover state, there\u2019s an opportunity for non-drones to fly higher, farther and faster.<\/p>\n<p>For example, students manipulating the system by having ChatGPT write essays miss an opportunity to learn, demonstrate a dangerously poor understanding of ethics and prove they\u2019re no better than everyone else.

What can be predicted or regurgitated should be left to machines, but what requires judgment or rational thinking should be left to us. Generative AI isn\u2019t a crutch, it\u2019s not a panacea, and it\u2019s not a threat to humans.
