Because of an essay?

Yes, or "AI generated software."

We need to teach people to work with technology. Not pretend it doesnt exist.

It's fine if you use it as something supplementary (i.e., a really fast "I would've typed roughly this anyways"). However, you absolutely shouldn't trust it to get things right when you have no knowledge of the subject matter.

When these models came out, the world changed. If you arent using them right now you are being left behind

🙄 the world didn't change; a new overhyped technology appeared. Like the cloud, smart phone, voice assistant, etc, it'll find its place. However, it's place isn't everywhere or writing all your essays, thoughts, opinions, and reports that you don't want to do.
