    If they’re doing this in other classes then they’re either going to get caught and fail or they won’t get caught but won’t have learned anything. What are these people going to be doing out in the world when they get older?

        They can’t get a master’s if they don’t graduate with a bachelor’s first.

        FWIW in-state students are usually just as lucrative for universities, since the tuition discount is paid by state grants.

        No it won’t. What the professor did illustrates this. You have to have a human proof reading AI. No matter how smart computers get, they’ll always be dumb as shit.

          The people demanding AI integration don’t care if it works. They were sold that it increases productivity so it must be worth it.
