At my school, a grade of 5 is approximately the same as getting an A, which I will be considering a good grade for this purpose. I never showed a GPT-3.5 response to my teacher because they were all clearly worth a 3 or 4 (which corresponds to a B or C grade). I am not going to pretend that I wrote it and will make it clear that it is AI generated when I show it to her.
I'm still on the waitlist for GPT-4, so this will resolve after I get off the waitlist and she gives the response a grade.
Close time updated to June 5 because I still don't have API access

Teacher bias is a major factor here, I think she will be looking for a ways in which it is imperfect (i.e. different than a human). I pretty commonly see new technologies held up against the standard of perfection, or at least top-of-their game humans, when they could be very successful in situations where the counterfactual human is reliably exhausted/distracted/incompetent
So assuming the base rate for a “5” is 10%, it would need to be both top tier and evaluated fairly. Which is possible , but less than 40%
All that said, I only bet 10…
@MatthewRitter My school attracts a lot of people who are good at math (and have varying degrees of writing skills) and I’d say about 30% get a 5 on these assignments.
@ShadowyZephyr I can justify paying for the API because I need it for various programming projects of mine, but ChatGPT Plus is expensive and mostly for lazy people
@cc6 Well nat.dev just introduced a 20% markup because they were bleeding money, but it’s still the best option if you don’t have access to the api
There are apps that claim to have it for cheaper than $20 a month, but I don’t want to spend money only to find out it’s not gpt4
