As an anecdote, I just started a masters in data analytics and I've been having a lot of fun asking ChatGPT for help detecting overfitting and useful terms like the mean squared error (MSE).


lol, reminds me of "The brain is the most important part of the body, until you realize who's telling you"


Absolutely; i just mean I love it for guiding my learning :) i don't use it for final projects, but it does help me navigate the material if I'm not comprehending it well. I hope ChatGPT is embraced for that reason, because it's really like finding a key to a lock with professors. They explain things in the most effective way they know how, and ChatGPT wouldn't get exhausted or impatient with you if you ask it the same question in different ways. That said, it does produce erroneous information. I hope less than my professors.

:)
