A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Article doesn't say if he used AI to wholesale write his paper, which obviously is cheating, or if he used it as a resource like Google. Some details would be nice here.
If you click through to the court document the most detail it goes into is
I don't think using it as a resource would be a good thing. It's not a good tool for that. But I think it's perfectly ok to use it for making nice sentenses out of the data you found in other resources.
Its great for proof reading, tone, etc. Not perfect though. For important work I usually run my writing through a few tools (and humans).
Yeah, I'm on the fence because I do totally see how it can help and be a tool, at the same time though it can spit out a passable paper in minutes without much effort. I will say my knee-jerk reaction is if the school didn't want it used, they should say so; I remember a time when I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't attempt to use a calculator (the teacher insisted no one would ever have one if they needed to find an unknown angle).
