I teach at a community college. I see a lot of AI nonsense in my assignments.
So much so that I’m considering blue book exams for the fall.
I have a friend who has taught Online university writing for the past 10 years. Her students are now just about 100% using AI - her goal isn't to get them to stop, it's to get them to recognize what garbage writing is and how to fix it so it isn't garbage anymore.
I wish English teachers did this instead of... Whatever TF they're doing instead.
This is something they should've been doing all along. Long before the invention of LLMs or computers.
This is the inevitable result of "No Child Left Behind" linking school funding to how students performed on standardized tests. American schools haven't been about education for the last 20+ years. They are about getting as much funding as possible.
Not just American schools, all the way back to Leonardo DaVinci and beyond it has been all about the funding.
