I'm proud of my deft non-confrontational solution to the student I suspected of using AI for a bunch of club stuff (since it's not an "assignment" my options to use school policy were limited & I didn't want to make the kid feel singled out/exposed)
"For all images on our material it's important to credit the artist or say if it's from a clip art library-- some students have worked hard to design logos, give them credit! All images should have a source!"

Magically all the AI slop has vanished.

I mean we should do this anyway but it also forces anyone using AI to admit it-- and if you don't want to admit it? Hm. Well then.
@futurebird I ❤️ this story on multiple levels.
As a certain filmographer-adjacent jack once said, "credit the creators"
@futurebird someone posted an ai image “celebrating” Labor Day last year, and it made me crazy
@futurebird
That's such a wonderful solution!
@futurebird really appreciate how you went out of your way to address the issue without making it a huge deal to the kid.

@futurebird nicely done.

in a different environment, (local government) we are negotiating an acceptable use policy for GenAI and similar. Ive asked to include a requirement to source or otherwise identify when these tools are used to create official material.

getting A TON of resistance from the heaviest users.

@futurebird have you noticed a generacism with AI?
@futurebird pretty sure he's going for opening Troy's Box.

@futurebird

Well done! A great way to call them out and solve the problem without making people feel sad.

@eljorgeabides @futurebird If a student cheats, uses artificial intelligence, acts out in class, etc. he should be called out on it, and punished, if necessary. There is no sense in coddling and protecting those who cause trouble. But since this wasn't an actual assignment, a simple reminder to credit sources does make sense. It's good practice regardless.
@futurebird
The AI makes people more dumb than helps them. Laziness would be a forbidden word in the coming years.
@futurebird Wait, why can't they just cite the AI model that created it?
@mwguy They can. They didn't want to do that and opted to make their own logos and art.
@futurebird Good to know how well that worked. Once I told the students they didn't need to worry too much about the (formatting) style guidelines, and they took that to mean they could lift other people's texts without attribution.
