The HBS hosts try to figure out how much of the ChatGPT panic is warranted.

There seems to be a real panic among not only the professoriate, but also employers, about what ChatGPT is doing to "kids these days." The concern in higher education is that ChatGPT makes cheating easier and, by extension, the worry among employers is that all of the college-educated candidates they might interview in the coming years are really not as "college-educated" as they may appear on paper. Is this panic justified?

ChatGPT, no doubt, represents a major advance in publicly-accessible artificial intelligence software. ChatGPT, also without doubt, makes "cheating" easier for college students and makes the "misrepresentation of one's skill-sets" easier for employment candidates. However, ChatGPT is also a genuinely novel learning/working tool that is practically unprecedented in its sophistication.
