Is Using ChatGPT Cheating?

Why did a single question in my classroom stop me in my tracks?

Is using ChatGPT actually cheating, or is it just the modern version of using a treadmill instead of running outside?

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I’m bringing you behind the mic and into my classroom to unpack the real question my students wanted answered:

What does AI mean for learning, creating, and thinking for yourself?

Here’s what I talk about:

➡️ Why “is it cheating?” isn’t the question we should be asking

➡️ My treadmill analogy that made my students instantly get it

➡️ How to use AI actively instead of passively

➡️ The hidden gift of AI: how it can give you back 365 hours a year

➡️ Why your edits, your choices, and your voice will always matter most

➡️ This week’s Petite Practice™ - a one-line check-in before you hit “generate”

My reminder this week:

"AI doesn’t think for you. It helps you think faster. The value is always in your voice."
