A CHEATING SCANDAL GONE ARRAY
Severus Snape works at Texas A&M University. Not really, but this one professor is making the case.
He failed half of his class and denied them their diplomas after accusing them of using “Chat GTP” on their final assignments. What a mess.
The email from the professor that circulated on Reddit Monday shows the danger of uninformed professors trying to handle cheating. For god’s sake, he couldn’t even get the name of the AI model right.
The instructor put all the assignments into ChatGPT and asked the model if it wrote the essays. ChatGPT then hallucinates and claims it wrote every single project.
That’s not how AI works.
Some students showed the professor Google document timestamps to prove they wrote their essays and received apologies. Others admitted to using ChatGPT earlier in the semester and took their punishments.
The rest of the class is still pleading their case.
Teachers, ChatGPT will not detect AI writing. Turnitin is your best option for that.
Students, quit using ChatGPT to write your entire essay. Instead, use it like a calculator. Have it outline your essay and find supporting research. Use it as a proofreader.
The whole fiasco highlights the need for AI education in academics and guidelines for students. Otherwise, more situations like this will bubble to the surface.

AI CAUSES UNDUE STRESS ON A MAN’S MARRIAGE
VICE may be bankrupt, but the journalists there still make great content.
A satirical piece from their Motherboard team is a must-read today. In it, the writer, Maxwell Strachan, gives control of his life over to ChatGPT.
Folks, don’t try this at home.
The result is a pratfall that ensures ChatGPT’s efforts to make you productive look meaningless and random. But I loved every second of it.
Strachan alienates his wife by failing to help her out repeatedly. He even asks ChatGPT for permission to help his wife put away groceries, and is denied.
The ensuing conversation is a masterclass in situational comedy.
He even forgets to feed his dog (and himself) the first morning and has to beg his AI overlord for a few quick minutes to amend the error. After that, ChatGPT reminds him of the schedule to feed his dog because animals need food and water to survive.
I swear, it’s like ChatGPT is in on the joke.
people are calling me an idiot for doing this—folks, i know

All the humor and mishaps show us the limits of this technology.
AI doesn’t know the nuance of your day. It doesn’t understand that your partner expects you to help around the house and your dog needs to go out at times that don’t align with a perfect schedule.
We can ask ChatGPT to make us more productive and focus on self-care. But, unfortunately, all that does is force us to drink water for 10 minutes and stare at a wall until a timer goes off.
AI helps improve productivity, but this story reminds us we’re a crucial part of that equation.
You can make an omelet without requesting ChatGPT’s permission to break the eggs.
