Question
Shalom, Rabbi.
Thank you for your great kindness.
I study at the Open University with the approval of my teacher, HaRav HaGaon ... Hirsch.
The study format is that there are assignments that have to be done, a kind of quiz on the material learned,
whose purpose is to encourage study
and sharpen understanding.
These have a minimal effect on the grade, though in some courses more.
The question: nowadays, with Chat GPT, many people use it to complete these assignments.
For the exam it doesn’t help, since it is not permitted to use any technology.
As I understand it, since it doesn’t help for the exam, the university more or less turns a blind eye.
May I complete the assignments this way from the perspective of theft and of falsehood?
Of course, officially this is forbidden by the university.
Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom and blessings.
If they know that this is what the students do, it is not considered deception.
