‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

This is one of those moments I glad to be in one of the states who’re doing the work to get better. I’m in New Mexico, where we are currently 49th (iirc) in education. BUT the state also recently made up to a bachelor’s degree free*. I’m talking advantage of that program and at least at my school it seems like the culture is focused on teaching, not on churning out worker bees.
I came for the queer safety but I’m staying for the social programs.
* Free to residents of the state who maintain a GPA of above 2.5 with an upper limit on covered credit hours which is reasonable enough to accomodate a single change in major halfway through at no additional cost to students. Return students are in charge of their tuition for the first semester if they lack a recent GPA (last 10 years iirc) but are otherwise covered.
what an odd thing to hear about new mexico but good, i’m happy for you and i hope improves life for more in your state
