ChatGPT stealing the job of Kenyan ghostwriters

University students are now turning to ChatGPT to write their essays instead of Kenyans.  First victims of the AI onslaught...
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Chegg down 37% on the impact of ChatGPT on their business.

Sure, but I think it's indicative of the speed at which AI is upending businesses. Chegg is 17 years old and employs over 2'000 people. 

What are we going to do if businesses like this decline or go out of business?

Do you have a point, or are you just being contrarian for the sake of it.

Yes. It doesn't seem so bad that a company who makes some of its money from helping students cheat sees some of its revenue dry up when there's a more cost effective way to cheat.

I think you're being purposely obtuse. Plenty of legitimate business operations could be performed by AI.
