i hate to see my professors give in to students using ai. my amazing and wonderful history professor said “well i’ve realized i can’t stop anyone from using it so just make sure you declare what platform you used and i won’t mark anyone down”

also selfishly sucks because i do not use ai at all because i’m not an idiot and can write a 5 page paper about the civil rights era using jstor but i’m worried he’s gonna be suspicious if i DONT declare using it

That prof needs to be fired tbh. The point of writing classes is not to fully understand the topic you’re writing about, but to exercise your brain to be able to do research and write a cohesive paper on whatever topic, and to be able to spot reliable and unreliable sources. Allowing AI completely defeats the purpose of it.

if i were a prof i wouldn't say shit, just add a question at the end asking "did u use ai?" "what platform" and then mark down points for anyone who answered yes or lied

It should be completely banned in academics, ESPECIALLY in medical fields.

Ugh, it’s so disappointing. I’m in law school so that shit is 100% off limits

my school is very much into ai for whatever reason (literally used ai in promotional work for the ARTS DEPARTMENT) so it’s a losing battle for professors who have integrity. if he would’ve failed everyone who used ai (over 90% of the class), it would have triggered an investigation into him/the class and could’ve gotten him fired since my campus is wanting every department to lean into “ethical ai usage”

That’s abhorrent… it’s a fucking insult to the arts and academia.
