Student Claims He Got Straight A's Writing Essays Using AI, So We Tried It Out Ourselves

Well, one student from Norway may have just made this dream a reality.

Introducing himself to SAYS as Kevin, he recently made a post on Reddit which went viral on Twitter.

From the posting on the r/OpenAI subreddit page, he also said that he's made a profit by utilising this action as a service.

"For a couple of weeks, I have made $100 profit by "doing" homework for other classmates and now I am looked at as a genius."

There were some who were skeptical, but questioned the credibility of school and education systems if they're not able to assess whether something was written by AI.

Others were strongly against the idea, saying that it's not advisable to use GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) which is essentially an AI-powered tool that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.

One redditor went on to say that we shouldn't let AI think for us, but thought that it was okay to use it to gather talking points, as long as the user verified the evidence themselves.

"I tried using it, but it didn't work well as all the results came out wrong. I didn't even bother with Math because the tool is solely made for generating text," Kevin told SAYS.

So we opened up this website called copy.ai, which is an AI-powered content generator that provides writing solutions for a vast array of content spanning blog posts, social media copy, ad copy, website copy, and more! 

It is also powered by the same GPT-3 tech that Kevin used for his essays.

There were a number of functions that the website provided, but we decided on the 'Blog Title' option first.

Because who doesn't love nasi lemak right? :P 

After writing down a baseline topic, we pressed on the 'Create Content' button to see how it'll work its magic.

It then generated more than a few topics based on our initial idea, giving it some spin and rewording it around!

Essentially, they'll ask a few things so they can better understand what you're trying to create. We put in that we were trying to create a blog post, and a few points we would like to see manifest in that blog post. 

You can even choose how you want the content to sound by picking a tone ranging from friendly to professional.

After this, the content will be generated from the points that you keyed in.

From the excerpt it created above, it can be seen that the AI did a pretty decent job introducing the topic.

It describes what nasi lemak is, a brief part of its history, its ingredients, and even ways you can eat nasi lemak!

And guess what... it passed the plagiarism check :P
