This is not an observational study. A better title for this paper would be "ChatGPT Could Help Students Feign ADHD." ChatGPT could also help me cook meth, perform social engineering attacks, or pirate NYT articles.
Why do you need ChatGPT to feign ADHD? You can simply read the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and just lie.<p>This is true for pretty much anything else like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder etc.
So, somebody actually found something that ChatGPT could do without getting all bogged down halfway through a huge writing project that the subject matter wasn't 'ethical' and hence against the TOS?
I'm constantly having to fight for my child's ADHD meds (as in, they are never available at any pharmacies around me). It's been such a nightmare ever since they were diagnosed. To know people can go around faking it for, presumably, free access to Adderall is even more frustrating.
chat gtp also helped a student plan a knife attack on three girls at his school in Finland yesterday, who luckily all survived perhaps due to poor planing, but the "plan" also involved surendering to police and becoming famous, which it seems is working
The easiest way to get it is to show all your failed classes and exams. Anything else is not really enough proof honestly, as that's the most direct evidence that the illness is directly impacting school.<p>When an adult asks for it, it's a lot more serious. They simply can't do their job without it which affects their livelihood. Not being able to pay the bills is serious business.<p>Legitimate reasons:<p>- Failing School<p>- About to get fired/Can't get hired<p>Illegitimate reasons:<p>- I deserve better grades (for children/parents)<p>- I deserve better jobs and money (for adults)<p>- I deserve to instantly develop work/study habits (everyone)<p>It's a very desperate medication to seek. Unfortunately, amphetamine derivatives are the first line of defense against this illness and that's a very serious type of drug. It scares me children are given drugs of the stimulant variety.
