ChatGPT, launched in November, 2022, has attracted over 100 million monthly users in just two months, which is considered the fastest-growing consumer app. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

ChatGPT can write emails, computer code, even academic papers and poems. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} With various functions, it is suspected to do no good to multiple areas, above all the higher education.

So is ChatGPT a benefit or a trouble?

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Some universities have banned it due to the warning that it could prompt more students to cheat, especially in exams. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Andreas Schleicher, director of education and skills of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development, for instance, said he welcomes ChatGPT because "it gives people a chance" to concentrate less on tasks that technology can perform equally well.

According to a survey covering more than 100 educators and over 1,000 students, one-third of the educators said they believe ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities, while the rest supported students having access to it. The attitude of most students sees a distinct difference. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

As a result, the observed value and usefulness of ChatGPT seem to outweigh the risks. What we should focus on has shifted to better deal with the chatbot and its development.

A. The answers varies greatly across the world.

B. It is undoubtedly a shocking achievement.

C. Also it has succeeded in passing different kinds of exams.

D. By comparison, others regard it as a blessing rather than a curse.

E. They admitted having sought help from ChatGPT to complete their homework.

F. The worry is that ChatGPT could change the basic training structure of higher education.

G. It is widely discussed whether and to what extent AI should be involved in a scientific article.
