I came here to say this as well. Every time someone replies with "I've asked ChatGPT.." or "Why not ask ChatGPT?" I get seriously mad. It's like religious people. Totally convinced of a fake story and therefore tells it as truth.

Yes, that's the real issue. Everyone should be very skeptical about ChatGPT responses. But instead it's often trusted blindly, because "it's often enough correct".

But I get the idea behind this particular move and at least it can be a chance to teach the students to distrust it.

It’s pretty solid on well understood facts, physics, mathematics. It’s not so good at problem solving, it’s pretty good at code in some languages but it others. It’s quite good at translation in a number of languages. It’s great and fictional writing in any particular style.

Isn’t denying these facts just as dogmatic as accepting them blindly?

I wouldn’t call it great at writing fiction. Its prose style is bland and generic. There’s no authorial voice.
