‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

How do we expect students to want to learn when the point of school is to get a piece of paper that says you get paid more?
People care about their careers, because that’s what’s going to let them survive, they don’t care about the journey to getting to the point of stable survival.
If school wasn’t about getting done as fast as possible so you can go make money, if people didn’t have to constantly minmax their time and money, then people would actually want to learn and go to school.
