Just got back from Spring Break, and my to-do list this week includes failing three students in my freshman-level academic writing class for using AI to write their papers. I used white font to implant some "invisible" instructions on the assignment sheet, so when they upload it or cut-n-paste it into an LLM, the bot follows the secret input, et voila!
BUSTED!
I'll be so glad to retire in May and never have to deal w/ this BULLSHIT ever again.

@DrOinFL amazing. I fear for education.

As an opposite example, that is, of profs not reading what students have written, my mom had two ways to tell. She had a prof who didn't bother to read her work, once he knew she could do it. She starting putting a tiny dot of glue on each page to see if he even opened her paper. At one point, she was adding entire sections of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence to see if he noticed. And she was an English major, so writing papers was a big deal.
