Yup. Guilty as charged. If I need two pages and I've got like 1 3/4 of a page, I'll copy/ paste my entire report into chatgpt and ask it to make it a little longer. Then go through the changes, modify the bits I like and cut out the parts I don't.

Sue me.

tbh the page/word requirements are just as dumb as using chatgpt imo. as a general guideline for how much you need to go into details, sure, but literally counting pages and scoring based on that is not really the point of those assignments, I feel

Exactly. Last 2 years of highschool all of my major writing classes understood this and didn't have minimums, just write as much as you think it's necessary to cover your topic.

Most of my college courses have a minimum and maximum. Like they want to read exactly 2-3 pages per student. Annoying.

One of my English teachers once said something like “The more you write the more I have to read. So keep it short.”

I have to do this just so my dyslexic ass can read it. If its all spaced the same then it just looks like a giant wall of giberish.

For browsers there seems to be an extension that makes the starts of words bold. A colleague of mine said it helped them read better. To me, that makes sense, since dyslexics might have trouble finding where words start and end.
