1/3 of my class used AI on the most recent paper in my Critical Thinking class. This is a disaster. I caught one when it confidently made up a quote in an article I know better than anything I've ever written myself. I looked at the document history, and the whole paper appeared less than a minute after the document was created.
From now on, even looking at AI is cheating in my classes. No second chances. Seriously, we need to go back to typewriter labs.
@rjblaskiewicz My English teacher from 1984 assumed using a computer to write papers was cheating - she thought it was writing papers for me. I explained it was just a writing tool like a typewriter that made editing easier.
42 years later and she is correct.

Most days, I spend an hour or two writing about something I'm trying to learn, because I find it the best way to make the long-term changes in my brain that constitute learning.
IDK if your students know how unimportant grades are. I have never been asked for grades; at most for the degree certificate. I have never asked people I hired for grades. Maybe they will be asked for their first job when they don't have employment history. Or maybe to continue in academia.
But having those skills matter. Most jobs have a probationary period and they won't keep the job if they don't have the skills.
It seems AI
usage is going to force major changes in our education systems. I hope we apply some critical thinking to the purposes of education from the points of view first of students, then of wider society, then of employers. -
@rjblaskiewicz @wim_v12e @PH7831 @drahardja @lastofthem for a very specific set of possible texts
@oblomov @wim_v12e @PH7831 @drahardja @lastofthem I guess it knows where the zip code is and the street address and that's a big hint.
