Back in the day just one instance of plagerism was very serious. If you got caught doing it more than once you could get expelled.
Now apparently everyone is using the plagerism machine including the professors. So much for academic integrity.
I had a sustainability class where the professor used AI to write the course syllabus, assignments, and feedback. a fucking sustainability class.
I contacted the office of the president about it at my university but nothing ever happened of it. academia in general has gone off the rails with AI recently. I used to assume those with doctorates we're bright enough to avoid AI but evidently that's not the case.
Never underestimate how fucking lazy humans can be.
professors are often to busy with thier labs or research, so they relegate thier writing/teaching to AI. before it was only done with power-points that barely gave substance to a lectures those were the bad teachers when they just read off or give little context to the powerpoint slides, comes time for a midterm, students were like wtf was she teaching in those lectures.
and then professors using AI to sniff out your AI. resumes are being done by AI, and employers are also using AI TOO. Also research papers are apparently done with AI too, some how sneaking into journals.
