So arbitrary what they exclude
Teachers hate reading AI writing even more than you. That’s what’s behind these syllabus statements. We’re trying to convince students not to use it, but we know students will anyway, so in desperation we adopt strong rhetoric and threaten sanctions we can’t actually impose.
Amazing story. Here's a semi-recent novel on the same topic:

It's a bit like college applications. The ease of submission inflates the number of submissions. Thanks for the reply.
These are discouraging numbers. Submitting is like buying a lottery ticket.
I’m no fan of AI but there are a ton of false positives thrown around by people who think they can prove it stylistically. additionally, stuff like this
My wife, too.
I'm surprised no one's said American Pastoral.
This is exactly it. A generic internet photo or clip art doesn't imply that the presentation content is of dubious provenance.
Students are definitely taught to situate their topic in a broader context. But they lack a good feel for what’s an appropriate broader context, so they end up talking about the dawn of time.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll take a look at it.
I’ve been using blue books in some of my courses, but putting together a long research paper still seems to me like a useful skill, and blue books are no help there.
I've read a lot of your posts about LLMs, and something I'm still not clear about is how much you think college students need to learn how to write on their own, without technological input. Do you consider writing without the assistance of an LLM to be obsolete as an academic/professional skill?
Baby ghosts? And the anti-AI people are the delusional ones?
Given how much Americans love gangster movies, it was perhaps inevitable that we'd elect a mob boss for president.
How is this a moral panic? What the article describes is pretty bad
The only stupidity here is that she said out loud what all Trumpers think and want but generally try to conceal in public
Thanks for the thread! Very enlightening. I’ll look for the book.
Or is your book the source?
Interesting. Could you say more about this? Or identify a source that does?
Propaganda is a huge part of it. Fox News, an arm of the Republican Party, a shill for Trump, and a purveyor of constant lies and bile, is treated by other major TV networks as a legitimate colleague with a slightly different editoral slant.
They hate the extreme left so much more than they hate the extreme right. Maybe it's because deep down they know the left's critique of them has more merit than anything the right would come up with.
Many possible factors, but a likely one is that Barro and those who share his viewpoint see conservatism as more representative of "real America" than liberalism and the left. This is a blind spot for mainstream, "centrist" media in general.
As a C's fan, it feels like karmic justice for the Knicks to blow a big lead on their home court
Impressive!
Congrats! How did this come about? Was it accepted from the slush pile?
That seems doubtful. Most ICE officers appear to relish detaining people. Seems more likely that they're trying to protect themselves from legal consequences.
I've found the masks puzzling from the start. Why are they so worried about being identified? The rest of the administration gleefully commits crimes in open sight and dares the world to stop them.
