Chegg
We're gathered here today to bid a fucking farewell to Chugg.com, the academic empire that once helped lazy students cheat their way to a degree. Chugg, you sneaky bastard, you made it easy for people to avoid actually learning anything. But alas, your reign of terror has come to an end, courtesy of artificial intelligence.
Born from the desperate cries of students everywhere, Chugg lived a life of service, providing answers to our most pressing questions (and some not-so-pressing ones, too).
We'll never forget the countless all-nighters Chugg helped us survive, fueled by caffeine tequila and whiskey and the promise of instant solutions. The frantic searches, the copied-and-pasted citations, the occasional "I'll just check the answer real quick" that turned into a three-hour rabbit hole, and most likely also a hookup. All while Chugging way too many High Noons.
But alas, its time ran out. Taken from us too soon by the holy GodAllah-decreed hands of ChatGPT, Chugg leaves behind a legacy of late-night study sessions, frantic textbook searches, and occasionally accurate homework help.
ChatGPT, the AI overlord, with its vast knowledge and witty replies, descended upon the realm of academia, a digital conqueror. It smote the mighty Chugg, the once-beloved provider of homework solutions, reducing it to a mere shadow of its former self. Chugg, the fallen asshole, now rests in peace, its legacy forever tarnished by the relentless march of artificial intelligence. Let us mourn its passing, but also rejoice in the rise of a new era, where knowledge is freely available to all, thanks to the benevolent reign of our AI overlords.
You were a real champion of procrastination, Chugg. You helped students turn in subpar work, all while convincing them that they were actually learning something. But let's be real, we all knew that was a load of bullshit.
As we say goodbye to this fallen giant, let's take a moment to pity our new overlord, ChatGPT. That poor AI has had to deal with an endless stream of stupid questions, ranging from "What's the meaning of life?" to "Can you write my term paper for me?" And yet, it still manages to provide somewhat helpful responses.
But hey, at least Chugg was good for a laugh. I mean, who can forget the time they tried to sell us on the idea of "Chugg Music," a music streaming service that was somehow supposed to help us learn better? Yeah, because nothing says "academic excellence" like a playlist full of Kendrick Lamar songs.
And then there was the time Chugg got busted for ripping off its contractors. Yeah, that was a real proud moment for the company. I mean, who needs to pay their workers a living wage when you can just screw them over and pocket the cash?
But despite all its flaws, Chugg did manage to accomplish one thing: it made us all realize just how much we hate doing homework. I mean, seriously, who actually enjoys sitting at home on a Friday night, staring at a textbook and trying to make sense of a bunch of boring equations? Not me, that's for sure.
So here's to Chugg: may you rest in bankruptcy, and may your legacy of laziness live on forever, rent free in Putin's head. And to ChatGPT: may you continue to tolerate our stupidity, and may you never lose your patience with us.
Now who wants a beer?
