[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been out of college for a long time, but I saw something on the news about this. Is it true that college students are using AI to write their papers for their classes? Even at elite colleges! What can we do to stop this? I asked my nephew, and he said he doesn’t use it, but he could be an outlier.[/quote] My opinion is that kids are going to use it. The best way to address it is to help them understand the most efficient ways to use it, what its limitations are, and that you always need to cross-reference what AI gives you. They still need to do the work, understand the concepts, etc., because AI could produce an answer or essay that is totally off base. It's a good tool for generating outlines, for giving you an idea on how to sharpen a paragraph you've written, and, if you feed it text that you are having trouble understanding, it can break it down and make things easier to understand. My college-aged daughter has used it, and we have had these discussions. She understands the limitations; she has caught AI giving inaccurate answers, but does feel it is a useful tool for helping her get started on essays [b]by generating a sample draft. [/b] I use AI for parts of my work, but I wouldn't advise anyone new in my position to use it until they have a good grasp on what their work product should include and strong knowledge of the required content. It is going to be available to this generation as they move into the work field, so perhaps college is the time for them to learn how to use it responsibly and apply analytical skills to ensure AI produces accurate work products. [/quote] AI content generation constitutes academic dishonesty in most disciplines. Good luck to her.[/quote] PP here - I meant to say simple outline, and many of her professors have given the greenlight on outlines. However, they ask that the students disclose that they used AI as a tool.[/quote]
