‘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.‘

    sadly yea, i’m not happy about it but pretending education is above it all is doing no one any favors

    i’d love if we had free education and a culture valuing learning for the joy of it in the us but we can’t even manage to agree feeding starving kids is important

    and we just shat all over skilled nurses and the like as non-professional

    hard to not hold a bleak outlook on all of it

      We don’t have to agree. We essentially live in post democratic times. Some people just have to do it.

      Education can be above it all and make it possible.

          Because people don’t enact the values of Star Trek. People could create a Starfleet Academy and an organisation with Star Trek values but it seems that all fans are eager for WW3 because that is scripture.
