I have to believe
@edyvw made his class understand that the paper was not to be AI generated; it was to be written by the students.
I also believe the student asked the question in all honesty; he has grown up with computers and naturally taps into the biggest library in the world.
Perhaps another assignment might be, take an AI generated paper and have the students analyze it.
But what do I know, I am just a lowly programmer.
In that vein, I have seen a lot of AI generated code. Some of it is very tight; a lot in one line of code with functions imbedded into other functions numerous levels deep.
I used to be known for code like that; I was the hot shot programmer. A friend, who became my 1st mentor, talked to me about it during an impromptu code review. Dave praised me, and then told me he would never write like that. I was shocked at the gentle put down. "What happens when you have to revisit that functionality? Or worse, when someone else has to deal with it?"
I learned a lot that day.
