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

LLMs will 100% be used. “Bans” will mean only some kids get caught and some kids get away with it, and others don’t get the benefit of using it. Probably better to adapt — how can LLMs make writing better. Where to go from that 0th order draft.

If you really want something written BY the student & fair to other students, why not have ‘handwritten’ (typed on a school machine), while students are supervised?
