We have spotted quite a few students using generative AI in their essays this summer and applied standard academic misconduct proceedings, though in most cases the work was so bad they would've failed anyway.

Today I learned of one whose use was sufficiently extensive that they will fail their degree.

I am wondering if this is *the first time a student has failed a whole degree for using AI*? Would love to hear about other cases. If you want to tell me in confidence, my Session ID is in my Bio

@tomstoneham @mhoye prediction: once the initial rush of interest is over, serial cheaters are gonna go back to online services that outsource essay-writing to humans in developing English-speaking countries. _They_ might use GPT as an automation tool but the value-add will still be in “make this seem plausibly the output of a human who understood the material.”

@memory @mhoye

That seems spot on.
