‘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.‘

I’m one of these types of students. What do you expect when you are forced to write discussion posts every week like it’s the most important thing ever(200 words per class, I have 3). Also responding to people’s posts like you care(1-2 50 word posts per class). I understand this post is talking about a report, but it’s literally inducing chronic stress. Na keep using AI classmates.
Also, you know damn well the professor isn’t reading all of our responses so what’s the fucking point.
I think that you believe what you described - 700 words a week - would be “obviously absurd” to everyone here… What you described is such a tiny work load it’s shocking to see you frame it like this.
But to answer directly: What you’re expected to do in school is learn, not fake your way through so you can come out an utter dumb ass on the other side. I know I would have used the tools if I had them as a kid. No adult could have convinced me of the damage I’m doing to myself and the world. I doubt anything any of us say will change your mind - but I am sure a great many students will hate themselves for doing this to themselves 10 or 20 years down the line.
Tbf this comment alone was 85 words.
People are so lazy. Too lazy to read and write now. Get an AI summary of a long article so you don’t “have to” read it all. Get AI to write your 200 little words to participate in a discussion. Guess they have to save their precious time to get back to watching videos of talking heads blabbering their reactions to videos of other talking heads on their phones.
Meanwhile, their unused little brains shrink smaller everyday from lack of exercise. These fuckers need some kind of Hans and Franz brain boot camp workout to exercise their puny little minds.
How many words is this? I’m just ranting here like a sexy Grandpa Simpson without an onion tied to my belt, but it’s not difficult for me at all to come up with some words on a topic.
So after you have the AI read the article for you and write your opinions for you, how do you validate the content it produces as a result? What if it has produced some garbage that’s 85% inaccurate but you never learned enough about the topic you’re pretending to write about to know any different?
Exactly. The point is educational alignment: designing coursework to achieve learning objectives given that students have access to generative AI. That requires work from the educators and honest communication with the students about the capabilities, dangers, and moral hazards of generative AI. You can’t just pretend that word calculators don’t exist.
The point is for your own learning and your benefit I guess. My studies weren’t literacy type though, so I can’t relate to how frustrating it is. I never used ai though, I actually enjoyed my subjects so much that I wouldn’t let it take the fun a way haha
