New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

It's a threat to the integrity of education everywhere.

It's not that hard to solve though - we just need more handwritten & in-person exams!

What do other people think of Impact Magazine?

To be honest, I’m struggling a bit with this latest edition. It seems unnecessarily wordy to me and I’m not really clear who it’s aimed at.
