A UCLA student went viral after a video showed him pulling out his laptop during the graduation ceremony to display ChatGPT, the AI tool he used to finish a final project just hours before the event.⁠ ⁠ The clip, widely shared on social media, sparked debate. Critics called the move reckless and accused him of flaunting AI use, especially before grades were finalized. Others saw it as a symbol of how AI is reshaping education.⁠ ⁠ In response, the student posted a statement saying the final was open to AI tools and that he submitted it on time using ChatGPT. He called the tool a “thinking partner,” not a shortcut, and thanked OpenAI for helping him cross the finish line.⁠ ⁠ “AI is shaping not just what we do, but how we do it,” he wrote. “It was with me every step of the way, even at the end.”⁠ ⁠ 📽️Video by: Gabe Jung⁠ 🤳Click our linkinbio to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #reel #ucla #graduation2025 #chatgpt #openai #...
