‘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.‘

      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?
