Fuck AI

I didn't hate AI (or LLMs whatever) at first, but after becoming a teacher I REALLY FUCKING HATE AI.

99% of my students use AI to cheat on any work I give them. They'll literally paste my assignment into ChatGPT and paste ChatGPT's response back to me. Yes, I've had to change how I calculate grades.

The other super annoying part of AI is that I often have to un-teach the slop that comes from AI. Too often it's wrong, I have to unteach the wrong parts, and try to get students to remember the right way. OR, if it's not technically wrong, it's often wildly over-complicated and convoluted, and again I have to fight the AI to get students to remember the simple, plain way.

The other thing I've heard from peers, is that parents are also using ChatGPT to try to get things from schools. For example, some student was caught cheating, got in trouble, but the parent was trying to use some lawyer-sounding ChatGPT argument to get the kid out of trouble. (They've met the parent before and the email seems wildly out of character.) Or in another instance, a parent sent another lawyer-sounding ChatGPT email to the school asking for unreasonable accomodations, demanding software that doesn't even make sense for the university major.
