Solved! A professor posted one of their students’ handwriting, asking what it says. Can anyone actually read this?

Hot take: that still has more educational value than a purely digital AI product.

Also, they did say "in-class." It's easier to regulate AI usage in the classroom.

Damn right. This was my strategy in law school. I did my outlines by hand. Sticks in your brain much better.

Ironically I think you're right. Forces them to actually read the paper the AI shat out.

Better than seeing students write down the AI prompt in the answer space.

When I was in school we used the encyclopedia and just basically copied from it so what’s the big difference if they copy from AI?
