Too many people have misinterpreted all of this as universities are preventing students from using AI for anything. They are not.

I am an Adjunct Professor at a local college. I can tell that many of my students use AI.
I have each student write about themselves and what they expect to learn in my classes during the first week of classes.
I teach online, so I never meet them face to face, but I do read their first assignments and I find that they write several levels above their initial writing during assignments.
I can often see that it is not in their voice or with their given vocabulary.
The issue is, how do you prove any of it.
There is a new paradigm being consider with AI. It is not unlike the use of a calculator in a math class when we were younger. Does the calculator act as a cheat or an enhancer.
For non-mathematical and non-science students, there has been argument that calculators provide marginal students a way to navigate mathematical exercises and produce an acceptable result.
I don’t have an opinion, yet, on the use of AI. Is it the modern calculator or is it just a quick cheat? Like I said, I’m still evaluating….
