I just failed a student for submitting an AI-written research paper, and she sent me an obviously AI-written email apologizing, asking if there is anything she can do to improve her grade. We are through the looking-glass, folks.

I'm almost didn't mind the AI-paper. I'm numb to it at this point. It was the thoughtless remorse afterward that got to me.

Yep, but they don't have an official policy on AI, which is needed

I've read a lot of the student's in-class, handwritten stuff. She definitely didn't write the email. AI also has a tendency to overuse intro phrases like "Additionally" and "That said," etc.

Yeah it is. Also, I'm a little surprised how many actual people on here have no problem living in a "post-human" world. Seems like hell on earth to me

Too many of the tech absolutists in this thread think that I am anti-technology bc I have some doubts about the impact of AGI particularly on the learning of young people. I don't think it's inconsistent to be openminded about new technology while also being critical of some

Being critical of particular technologies, to me, shows that someone has a moral principle over and above New = Good
