‘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.‘

      Sadly, lockdown era students all got their WFH piece of paper they can safely wipe their asses with. We have never had so many grad students fail out as this cohort. They literally got degrees with no practical knowledge, tehn thought tehy could cost to a career with the same work ethic.
