Dude, the fact that the student has to use AI tools to get by, does not mean he's going to be a success story in life. It just means he's going to find shortcuts and exploits to make things easier over everyone else that had to do things the natural way. This is no different than someone using calculators in math tests where it's not allowed. This is no different than someone simply peeking over another's work and copying down. Using AI generative tools to gain an advantage is in the same ballpark.
So these entitled parents and that entitled student can go get fucked. I hope these universities see this and recognize that this student is a borderline cheater and hopefully deny him anyways if this gets overturned.
I'd say more than borderline cheater but yeah.
In my 20+ year career (god I'm old) every time I felt like I was cheating I was praised for figuring out a faster way to do it.
Granted, the point of education is to learn something and having an AI spit out an essay means you've failed at demonstrating your knowledge.
But let's not pretend that using shortcuts isn't rewarded outside of school.

I once got a very polite correction in middle school because I forgot how to do an algebra problem and so I attempted to find the derivative of the curve instead. I wasn’t going to get it done in the allotted time and I wasn’t practicing the skill I was being taught.
Is generative AI going to be the calculator of the future? Seems probable, but I don't know of course.
If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
But also, if you get caught cheating you just own it, you don't whine about getting caught.
Of course not, nothing ever goes wrong, why would you even say that.
You must be a very negative person.
Let me guess, business major?
