Ella Stapleton, a student at Northeastern University in Boston, USA, requested a refund of the $8,000 she paid for the course, stating that the course materials were prepared by the instructor Rick Arrowood using an artificial intelligence bot called ChatGPT.
A ChatGPT earthquake occurred at a university in the USA. Ella Stapleton, a student at Northeastern University in Boston, filed an official complaint with the business school, stating that the instructor Rick Arrowood prepared the lecture notes using the artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT.
WANTS HER MONEY BACK
In her complaint, Ella Stapleton requested a refund of the $8,000 she paid for the course. According to Stapleton's statement, in the notes prepared for the organizational behavior class, there was a phrase that read, "Expand all areas. Be more detailed and specific." Stapleton said that when she looked at other materials related to the course, she found traces of artificial intelligence usage and texts containing spelling errors. Noting that the syllabus distributed by the instructor Arrowood stated that students were prohibited from using artificial intelligence, Stapleton said, "He tells us not to use it, but he is using it himself."
INSTRUCTOR ADMITTED
Instructor Arrowood admitted in a statement to the US media that he used ChatGPT to organize course files and documents. Arrowood said that this situation has pushed him to use artificial intelligence more cautiously. Northeastern University rejected Ella Stapleton's request for a refund.
