I mean if I was in college I’d totally use “AI” to write first drafts. But I’d never, ever trust it to write a final paper. Just like now the only thing I use it for is embedded in my IDE (software development software basically) in an “autocomplete” fashion in which I let it finish writing a block of code I start typing and then I go and make it what I actually wanted. Great timesaver for the boilerplate code required in a lot of languages. In reality that’s what this iteration of “AI” should be used for in most case, helping, not doing. But corporations want to replace people, not just make them more efficient, so here we are.
If I was still in college, I’d probably do like 1 or 2 pages on a topic which is usually easy for me to do, and then use AI to fix structure, grammar, cohesiveness and expand to make it to the stupid arbitrary page count
But have it not touch any of the actual facts of the paper
In a culture where people just want to make the cut, chatbots are really perfect.
Good, colleges deserve it for scamming students out of paid degrees.
