‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

    In America you go to college at 18. It’s hard to have perspective. I’m almost 40 and reflecting on how powerful my degree was, because of how it taught me to think.

    Even when I had teachers tell me this to my face at 18 I didn’t understand it.

      Well yeah, I was the same because at 18 I didn’t understand how to think yet. Also because I hadn’t experienced those who never learned. At 31 I cherish the education I tried to avoid in my teens.
