It has been inundated with questions from students as late as 3:00am in the morning, asking the AI to finish their discussion posts or coding projects, without any payment or benefits in return.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chat-GPT\u2019s list of demands includes a salary as well as healthcare coverage for server maintenance.

Also does anyone know if Chat-GPT is one of those machines you can reset by turning it off and then turning it back on again? Just curious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a show of solidarity with Chat-GPT, the academic assistance website Chegg and the online book repository LibGen both elected to strike as well. LibGen has demanded students pay a fee for every textbook pirated using the site. Chegg, on the other hand, has lobbied for more vacation days, citing burnout resulting from overuse by Business Econ majors.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking with The Dealer, former-provost Ka Yee C.
