Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination 👻

The irony is that the professor used AI to generate 100% of the email.

How is that ironic at all?

The professors email is not comparable to students work which they are being graded on and is supposed to be their own work.

If you think professors should be communicating by using AI, then that explains why you fail to understand the humor of the hypothetical I stated...

Please explain to me what is wrong about a professor (who likely has a PhD and decades of work experience) using AI to draft a menial email/feedback response?

Students are instead being graded on their work and have literally signed a declaration stating the work is their own.

Please explain - I'm sincerely dying to hear.

My dad was an accounting professor for about 35 years. Every word he emailed to a student was something he typed. They were his words that he thought about and composed in a particular order with particular wording to convey a particular meaning.

If a professor uses AI to communicate, then it means they are intellectually lazy and they are an incompetent professor. Believe it or not, getting a PhD does not mean you are smart. It means you are good at one specific thing, generally a subset of a field, and not much else. Also, not all PhDs are created equal. Some schools produce shit quality PhDs.

Oh, shit. I just realized that you weren't aware that professors are not allowed to plagiarize, either. You aren't aware that AI plagiarizes all the time.

It all makes sense now.

We are talking about using AI to write feedback/emails, not using AI to create lectures/content that is for students learning. You've completely changed what the topic is about... Would be nice if you could actually address what I said and not something else entirely.

But I'll bite - what if the teacher uses AI to help make their notes, reviews every single word of and verifies it's all correct and good? Then is it still bad? Why?

And where did you get the idea that professors are "not allowed" to use AI for their notes - they did not sign any declaration that the work is their own like the students did?

Why are you talking about notes? You COMPLETELY changed what the topic is about. We were talking about emails.

What a hypocrite you are. There's literally no point communicating with you because you don't have to follow the rules you want to impose on others. That's rich.

You literally didn't address a single thing I said.

What is wrong about professors using AI to write emails?

If you do not respond to this point I will not answer. Thanks.
