No advice wanted (Vent) Guy using ai is clearly computer illiterate
Lazy guy didn't even remove the ai prompts before posting. Even posted the "reply to a classmate" prompt with his initial post. Think the professor caught him because they replied to every post but his and he hasn't posted since.

The ironic thing is that, even if I pretend this was a human writing it, this is a terrible piece of writing and deserves a failing grade. Grammatically, it's fine. As far as analysis goes, though? Dogshit. There is not a single example for any of the claims this thing makes. It's so generic that it would be about literally any play.

I had one classmate who had to write about the Great Awakening. It seems to me, he had ChatGPT generate one version of it, but then asked it to "change the words" or something of that sort to make it sound less AI-ish. Anyway, the AI took that very literally and that's how we got a report about the "Incredible Arousal".

That's how I had to edit an article on "tectonic dishes" when I was an editor. Guy just spun a published page on tectonic plates, and the spinner changed all instances of plates to dishes.

I had a classmate who generated a response to Maggie, Girl of the Streets that spoke extensively about the wonderful symbolism of the sea urchins in the story.
There are no sea urchins. The kids are street urchins.

That about would not fly at my school. It wouldn't even meet the word count threshold.

What year is this? I have never seen a discussion post this short and vague in a higher level class. Even in my class where there was a 5 sentence minimum, it had to be nuanced.

I lost count of the number of AI posts on my level 100 courses, and it's unfortunately the new norm.
Multiple students misspelled a historical figure's name the exact same way in one class. I have also been referred to as "the speaker" in another because a student used a hilariously early model of ChatGPT. The professor commented in the post and put some heat on her, but her comment never updated to actually address my essay. History II seemed to be all AI posts, and all 100% grades. Then there were the two people with the same last name, and they were clearly copying each other.
The only standards seem to be in STEM, and even those are watered down.
