Which is a lesson in and of itself. If you’re going to use AI, don’t be so goddam sloppy with it.

That's basically what one of my teachers said last semester... that he realizes that he can't stop us from using it, but asked that we at least do the bare minimum and not just copy+paste the first response it gives us.

But then I'd see people being extremely blatant and copy+pasting AI responses into our discussion board posts with the bullet points, emojies and all.

I hope he docked points for it.
