to slash their homework time - vaulting the country's"Great Firewall" to write book reports and bone up on their language skills.
In China, where the service is unavailable without a virtual private network , over a dozen students told AFP they have used it to write essays, solve science and maths problems, and generate computer code. "My mum would stay up late until I finished all my homework and we would fight constantly," she said."Now, ChatGPT helps me to do the research quickly."
And for those unable to scale the firewall, AI Life on the ubiquitous WeChat app charges one yuan to ask ChatGPT a question, as do other services.Chinese media last month reported major tech firms, including WeChat's parent Tencent and rival Ant Group, had been ordered to cut access to ChatGPT on their platforms, and state media blasted it as a tool for spreading"foreign political propaganda"."We've used a VPN for years.
