Ummm… not yet it doesn’t.
Maybe thats the case in QLD, but I can assure that all of the Uni's in WA are a bit spooked by it, and the consensus right now is split between banning it or allowing it with caveats (need to reference it in assignments etc...).

My personal view is you need to embrace it and update your methods of assessment as a result. The same way we did when calculators were introduced to math curriculum, or the first iteration of the web in the 90s.

Agree with that 100%

The ban is a knee-jerk reaction because I think everyone has been a bit stunned by how good it is. As Briztoon even says, it's good enough to earn itself a uni degree. Ps get degrees, and this is only the beginning. The first public version.

But it's here now and everyone will have to adapt. I mean, it's already being integrated into Bing, and Google (as spooked as anyone) won't be far away. What will schools do then, ban search engines? Impossible.

Students will need to be taught how to use it effectively just like every other tool at their disposal. Critically assess what it spits out, make sure the sources it uses are legitimate etc etc etc. rather than blanket bans.

As my wife responded, can it cite credible sources and provide references in a paper?
That are real sources.

Can it demonstrate critical thinking and draw reasonable conclusions from a variety of sources.

I will caveat all this with that my wife teaches post grad students and works in research, where everything revolves around surveys and interviews and analysis of data drawn from these.

Chatgp isn’t helping with any of this.

I've found this in my field. Technology has automated a lot of our functions but it hasn't replaced the human elements. In fact, because of how efficiently we can do things, technology has actually created more work because we can help more people faster and we have to teach clients how to modernise their lives.

Every technological innovation seems to do this. It doesn't reduce the amount of work, it increases the amount that can now be done in the same time.
