I don't think there's any inherent superiority to any particular tense. BUT...
My problem with the proliferation of present tense usage (as someone who's pubbed something like half a dozen books in present tense) is twofold.
First of all, most writers aren't exploiting the strengths... 1/

If you are able, drop a class if the professor does this. There are many, many of us who are not using AI. Tell the dean. Tell your counselors. Let it be known you don't want to use it. Be loud about it.

Frog says: GenAi has a lot in common with colonialism: itβs based on stolen labor, it steals original culture and reduces it to mind-rotting slop, it devastates the environment (pollutes air, wastes water, and accelerates climate disasters), the data centers steal and ruin land, and it makes white-supremacist and anti-queer billionaires richer. No wonder right-wing, conservative losers love it.
And now a thought from a wise frog:

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair useβthe judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it βmeant to compete... by developing a market substitute.β

I'm begging you, fellow authors, stop begging for your book to be banned.
Maybe long ago it was rebellious.
Now it's asking for kids to suffer, for teachers and librarians to be forced to risk their careers, safety, and freedom, with your work as the weapon.

Craft is the stuff we don't intuit or get good at with low effort. It's applying thoughtful observations about the way a form (such as prose fiction) works to make more out of it than you would get from straightforward creation.

AI doesnβt just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.
It also guzzles enormous sums of water.
βIn order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugsβ¦ that means if one in 10 U.S. residentsβ16 million peopleβasked ChatGPT to write an email a week, itβd cost more than 435 million liters of water.β
