View submission: Study: 94% Of AI-Generated College Writing Is Undetected By Teachers
First one won’t work because some colleges and professors are convinced it’s a tool, similar to how calculators were seen as cheating back in the day. I’m required to use AI in one of my writing courses.

When admins decide that it actually must be used then the war’s already been lost.

It is a tool. If you aren't having it proofread your paper for any minor spelling mistakes or for it to suggest ways to make your paper flow better, you're making a mistake. Professors assign papers that involve regurgitating pages of information with 0 synthesis and wonder why students are using AI to write them. They're using AI because that's what it was made for, to regurgitate information in its own words without forming any opinions or conclusions.

This is exactly the 'you won't always have a calculator in your pocket' mindset. The genie is out of the bottle. AI is here to stay. Any attempt to restrict it is futile.
Also I think there's something to say about the longevity of fields where AI usage alone is enough to ace a class. If the AI can generate the results all on its own, why do we need the student?

Don't feel too bad. When I was in college, they made me learn about "social bookmarking" and download some garbage extension for my browser.

Some coding classes also take advantage of giving students access to AI in order to give them recommendations for how their testing programs should be formatted. More emphasis is being placed on minimalizing and optimizing their code, reducing latency or response times.

First one won't work because you will never, ever convince someone to do more work when an easy option is right there, not because of the "attitude of the teachers"....... 🤦
