In some states, this is illegal without the consent of the person you are recording.

Professors here are a joke. Burying their head in the sand as if thy can stop this. Please.

True is, you can use Otter in your phone and NOBODY will know you are recording anything. I attend an Ivy and every student is doing this. Every single one. I’ll be a senior next year. This is just std protocol. It has helped me study much better. I’m much better prepared now studying with my AI notes than ever before. Stop pretending this is not happening.

You certainly don’t write like an Ivy student.

I’m a 20 year old writing from my phone with one hand…please spare me the holier than thou attitude from most of the desperate parents in this forum wasting their days in front of work computer asking questions about how to get in my school…..

Can she ask to record but then play back and pause to take her own notes? I am prof who allowed but discouraged auto summary and I feel some PPs missed the point. I’m mainly warning that this is a bad strategy because it cuts out active processing of the material. Active engagement helps kids perform better on my exams, which are conceptual and not just rote fact recall. If the exams are easy then maybe there is no issue. AI use is okay for some purposes but many kids don’t know how to use it well and end up sabotaging themselves. I have seen this play out so I”m not just speculating here.

For the professors responding, assume you are being recorded. There would be almost no way to catch someone. AI is here to stay, so you might need to learn to adapt.
