ChatGPT hacks for students
Knock knock, your term paper from last semester is still waiting to get finished. If you are wondering how exactly: don't worry, there's a solution! There's a rumor going around on TikTok that humanity will soon be completely taken over by robots... get to know the who and how as well as why exactly this will help you in your studies.
SOS: Procrastinated a lil too much again?
Beloved by all students, young and old: homework assignments. Jokes aside, they are part of uni life and there's nothing you can do about it. Except making it a bit easier. Theoretically, you could say that ChatGPT works exactly like Whatsapp. Simply ask the artificial intelligence and receive an immediate answer (you can even ask why Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber are beefing atm lol). Btw the chatbot also writes essays and it can program. This creepy, but helpful computerized program is capable of human-like conversations and has the brain of Einstein. But now onto why ChatGPT can make your study life easier.
1. Paraphrasing doesn't have to be difficult
Indirect quotations in scientific papers? No problem, ChatGPT is able to rewrite your texts. Little reminder: don't forget to mention the original source.
2. Easy peasy lemon squeezy corrections
Honestly, who pays attancion to grammar and spelling...yes, our mistake was intended (smooth, eh?!). Luckily the AI will help you prevent such mistakes. Your professors will be proud.
3. Avoid repeating words - let the AI search for them
Let's make a bet. How often do you think we mentioned the word "you" in our article? Suggestion: Feel free to copy paste our text onto ChatGPT and look for our word repetitions (we bet on it being 25).
4. Get suggestions for synonyms
You can ask the AI for synonyms. You know, just in case you black out or something and your vocabulary takes a hit.
5. Spice up your homework assignment
Getting used to a scientific writing style isn't the easiest thing in the world. Don't worry, we got you. According to AI, you can simply ask the Chatbot to spice up your text. Oh and btw adding a little spice to your exciting writing style can't hurt either.
6. Send help: forgot how to speak languages?
German, Spanish, French...whatevs. Translations are easily accessible with AI. Yup, the program is multilingual.
7. A more casual or professional email?
What's something all students have to go through on the regular? Those lovely, dreaded emails to professors, lecturers and the like. An artificial bird told us that ChatGPT can even handle that for you.
8. Find new inspirations
Another mental breakdown because you can't think of a research question or research topic? Take it easy. Ask Einstein jr. for ideas and get spoiled with inspirations.
9. Specifically ask the program for information
A moment of silence for all the times when you had to find a cool presentation introduction. Forget about those for now. You can directly ask ChatGPT for specific ideas such as: Name a topic most people haven't heard of.
10. Just relax: sit back & let your computer buddy question you
Assignments, term papers, presentations...exams. Can't forget about that one. If your classmates don't have time to study with you, try to either give the chatbot your own notes and let your buddy help you out or simply give the AI the task to randomly question you about the topic you are studying for.
Ready to see the not so bright side of ChatGPT?
Alrighty, so ChatGPT is topic of the month. Seriously though, even some politicians have their speeches written by AI. Try to specifically keep in mind that the chatbot can often times provide its users with false or incorrect information, especially when it comes to ongoing events or complex topics. It does after all take all its info from the internet. Additionally you should remember that even if the chatbot is being trained with real words, it still doesn't own any type of rights for cognitive proprietary. Which simply just means (now comes the term every human being despises): plagiarism. So try to remain transparent about the things you are taking out of the website. The system also spits out information without reference sources. Therefore, feel free to check for alternative websites. You can also use a search engine to check if the information is really correct and related to the desired topic.
Disclaimer Alert
The new technology is excellent BUT try to be careful. Don't write your entire assignment with ChatGPT. If we got you stressing now: don't worry. We also want to provide you with some extra tips to help you release some stress. I promise, the article isn't too long either:
