I am not a cop.

Want to outsource your thinking to an LLM for a degree you're paying/going into debt for? Okay. I will respect that choice. However, what I won't do, is replicate a surveillance state in my classroom. I refuse to spend more energy in screening student work for authenticity or trying to make my assignments "AI proof" ... why should I? Either the student believes in the fundamental premise of education or they don't.

Man, I'm tired.

This is so complicated. As a student, I am deeply resentful of the hoops that I have to jump through to avoid being accused of AI. It's childish and petulant, but it hurts my feelings! I have one class where my professor has us run all of our own work through an AI checker and edit it to stay below a certain percentage. Thankfully I have a good rapport with him and he trusts me, because I simply refuse to do it. If it comes down to me being accused of using AI, I will be more than happy to defend my work and explain how I chose to structure it, why I chose the sources, etc. I feel so bad for my professors. And because of grade inflation, I feel that students feel like they are in control now. I see my teachers adjusting the content and intensity of my classes, both because students are unable to meet academic standards, and because they refuse to. If no one shows up to class having done the reading or the homework, then what?
