      Wot? They didn’t say they cheated, they said they kept a copy of the prompt at the top of their document while working.

        Any use of an LLM in understanding any subject or create any medium, be it papers or artwork, results in intellectual failure, as far as I’m concerned. Imagine if this were a doctor or engineer relying on hallucinated information, people could die.

          they didn’t say they used any kind of LLM though? they literally just kept a copy of the assignment (in plain text) to reference. did you use an LLM to try to understand their comment? lol

            Its possible by “prompt” they were referring to assignment instructions, but that’s pretty pointless to copy and paste in the first place and very poor choice of words if so especially in a discussion about ChatGPT.

          there is no LLM involved in ryven’s comment:

          • open assignment
          • select text
          • copy text
          • create text-i-will-turn-in.doc
          • paste text without formatting
          • work in this document, scrolling up to look at the assignment again
          • fall for the “trap” and search like an idiot for anything relevant to assignment + frankie hawkes, since no formatting

          i hope noone is dependent on your reading comprehension mate, or i’ll have some bad news

            lmao fuck off, why put so much effort into defending the bullshit machines?

            EDIT: I honestly didnt even read your comment, too much time wasted arguing with bota and techbros, but if you mean to try to explain the user meant copying the assignment instructions then said user should never have used the word “prompt” in this context to begin with.

          You’re a fucking moron and probably a child. They’re telling a story from long before there were public LLMs.

          There are workflows using LLMs that seem fair to me, for example

          • using an LLM to produce a draft, then
          • Editing and correcting the LLM draft
          • Finding real references and replacing the hallucinated ones
          • Correcting LLM style to your style

          That seems like more work than doing it properly, but it avoids some of the sticking points of the proper process
