Maybe if homework can be done by statistics, then it's not worth doing.

Lots of homework can be done by computers in many ways. That’s not the point. Teachers don’t have students write papers to edify the teacher or to bring new insights into the world, they do it to teach students how to research, combine concepts, organize their thoughts, weed out misinformation, and generate new ideas from other concepts.

These are lessons worth learning regardless of whether ChatGPT can write a paper.
