I hoped the crisis was overstated, as a student, until yesterday. A friend of a friend was doing her history homework. Something about Harriet Tubman and slavery. The question was an image of a slave ship with the instructions "make 5 observations about this image." That was it.

She begged me to do it for her. I laughed because I thought she was joking. She said "no I don't know what to do!" At that point I became genuinely confused and asked if she was joking. I said "literally just write 5 things you see" and the rolled her eyes and said "ughh nooooo" and proceeded to put it in ChatGPT. Mind you, we are high schoolers, and she was taking an honors course. At that point this should be an extremely basic question.

Like within that time she could have just done it. He didn't even ask for full sentences. What the actual heck. Teachers, I am so sorry you have to deal with us. This generation is fried.
