I mean to be fair, I imagine when communities were in blackout things were looking dire. I haven’t been to reddit since, but I imagine things are pretty much back to normal? So it’s clear he can sort of spit on the reddit userbase how much he wants. People will still come back.
Depends on the university policy. To me, I don’t see any difference between certain AI use and plagiarism. And plagiarism ought to result in expulsion.
As an instructor, however, it is increasingly difficult being 100% certain someone is using an LLM. While the easy spot is usually shorter paragraphs and a final hedging paragraph (the one paragraph that OpenAI included so they won’t be liable if shit goes south), there is still no way to be sure.
So instead, I just have to begrudgingly nod along as my engineering students dump awful, boring AI texts on me.
