‘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.‘

    which is funny because reality makes that idea complete bullshit

    leadership doesn’t want professionals, it wants low paid worker drones and ‘good enough’ ai

    10% of your students might go on to be skilled enough to demand a job that respects their abilities, the rest are gonna be employed by tech illiterate boomers (lord these guys don’t want to retire) and will likely be dealing with being forced to use ai

    thankfully i can’t use ai in my work so it’ll be decades before it is even a concern for me directly but i have multiple friends dealing with this issue now

    they are intelligent, well educated, had top grades, their boss is some nepo baby with grand ideas of being the next elon

      That’s a very capitalist view of education. Some people just want to learn, and that’s the point of an education, to enable learning. You might need that piece of paper to get a job in the field you want, and the field you want might prefer a mindless worker drone, but that doesn’t mean that education should cut corners and teach to the job.
