why the FUCK do I HAVE to use ai?!

Seriously I understand some students are going to use ai and there’s nothing, other than catching and failing them, will stop them. But you’ve got to be kidding me my professors first assignment requires you to use chatgpt. Be fucking for real. I don’t want to use it and honestly i’m about to take the grade decrease because why the fuck in this grown ass world does a college class REQUIRE me to use generative ai. has anyone else had a professor require them to use ai? I can’t comprehend college level students wanting to use ai.

edit: you guys aren’t going to convince me that generative ai is a good thing. it’s harmful and borderline plagiarism not to mention all the environmental impact it has. I don’t care if you think it’s a “good tool” or it’s “so progressive” no please do the least amount of research and then come to a conclusion about things. stop jumping on the lazy bandwagon and thinking generative ai is going to solve all these problems for you it will not give you correct answers every time. Do you guys even realize the amount of electricity that just one question to those things costs? The results don’t come out of thin air; it’s run by computers, many many computers, that do many more calculations. To store these many computers you need a warehouse or somewhere to put them so unnecessary space is being filled with unnecessary computers that waste an extreme amount of electricity.

I don’t do the best job of explaining it but here’s this video that explains it perfectly. Credit nikitadumptrunk on insta

edit 2: i got full credit for the assignment and my professor congratulated me for sticking to my beliefs so anyone calling me stupid for avoiding it is foolish.

also the assignment was for world history I was meant to ask a generative ai chat bot questions I came up with from the material we read in one chapter of our text book then summarize what it told me.

TLDR professor requires use of generative ai.
