That doesn't refute what I'm saying. Calculators solve algebraic problems with a set of assumed constraints. That applies to the majority of elementary school math, and trivializes work that previously required dedicated thought.

ChatGPT solves an instruction-tuned scenario given a set of textual constraints and similar assumptions. So far so good, right? Except English isn't math, and our tools for learning them are markedly different. Being able to coax the correct answer out of ChatGPT is no more impressive than faithfully plagiarizing the correct answer from a textbook.

ChatGPT responses are expressive enough that any non-trivial response (eg. > 1 sentence) could be enough to tell if a student is using a chatbot or not.
