I read this in The Atlantic:
“One writing professor Ian spoke with said that AI had ruined the trust he once had in his students and that he’s ready to quit the profession altogether. “I have loved my time in the classroom, but with ChatGPT, everything feels pointless,” he said.

Even before generative AI, many of the papers assigned in undergraduate courses appeared pointless—instructors urge students to create “a bad version of the specialized kind of written output scholars produce.”

As a teacher for almost 25 years, I have experienced the myth of the copied/inspired essay. 
That is why, during the tests and exams, I used to let my students utilize all the sources of information they could find. My exam tasks were so creative that they did not have enough time to cheat or do research. Furthermore, I tried to educate them on the reflex for searching for accurate information.

I also had the opportunity to teach a creative writing course where we explored the works of various novelists and poets, focusing on their unique styles. I then encouraged my students to experiment with writing in a similar fashion. These were some memorable golden hours.

Yes, I agree. AI is borderline boring and flat. The key to mastering AI is understanding how to train it to meet your specific needs. Did you know that only 2% of AI enthusiasts use it wisely?
