work in progress (technically)

I disagree. It matters very much if liberal arts/humanities students use chatgpt to avoid putting in the work they're supposed to, because when they walk out with their degree they lack the skills they ought to have in areas such as critical thinking, methodology, and source critique. They also most likely lack the grit to dig in and do things properly, because they've never practiced it. All of this will show when they get a job they can't perform in.

This will devalue their degree, and with enough graduates lacking in important skills it will devalue everyones degree and in the end the whole field. Then humanities will no longer get funding (it's not that we get enough as it is, because it's not exactly a sexy, money-making field), all research grants will go to, I don't know, STEM and economics? because that's what people think is real science anyways, and we will no longer have any reliable research in literature, history, art, archaeology, language sciences and so on. It will be easier to spread lies (hey holocaust deniers), and harder to debunk them, because people will no longer have the tools to to do so.

It's happening already in both Europe and the US, with the political climates being what they are, and the way LLMs make up "facts" like they are writing badly researched fanfic only makes it worse.

I really feel strongly about this. Using chatgpt to write your eassay may feel like a handy short-term solution, but in the long run you're shooting yourself in the foot, AND you undermine the whole fucking field.
