‘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.

In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

      If you “learned your theory form someone else” you’re somebody’s goon, not a maxist.
