In his words:
"I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you @ChatGPT app."
Commenting on the story, a Nigerian man, Chukwudi Theophilus, criticised the student's public appreciation message.
"I think it is absurd to say you couldn't have made it through school without ChatGPT. It undermines the work of your own brain totally. His school might not even like this," he said.
