I came away with a different conclusion, namely that it did not pass the Turing test. Mind you, the professor is asking his students to write about very specific topics and expecting them to include sources. And in this case ChatGPT fails miserably, inter alia, for making up sources. If you are content to ask a sufficiently general question (e.g. write prose the way Hemingway did) then sure, it will cobble together a paragraph of punchy declarative sentences. But since we know Hemingway has shuffled off his mortal coil it too fails the Turing test (or rather, the Hemingway test). I'm sure there are things that ChatGPT are adequate at, but at least one professor has concluded that declaring the death of the college essay is premature.
