Using ChatGTP to modify the tone of a professor's response? Ok Using ChatGTP to "read" a students' essay and provide feedback? Not Ok

Similarly

Using ChatGTP to create study bullet points or a general summary? Ok. Using ChatGTP to write you entire paper? Not Ok.

This isn't hard, unfortunately there are people on both sides of the desk who think they are exceptions.
