LLMs, such as "ChatGPT" are a potentially useful technology. Students are welcome to use any technology that helps the learning process, including LLMs, as long as they do so responsibly and ethically. Students should, however, be aware of the limitations of these tools. It is ethical to ask LLMs to help refine existing student-generated work. It is not ethical to ask LLMs to generate original works and to pretend that it was done by the student. Students should know that work produced by LLMs is often of sub-par quality and often include made-up facts. Students will be held responsible for the quality of the work they turn in, regardless of the tools being used.
