Typos are proof something wasn't Ai written. Everyone should make at least one tyop in their writing.

"Claude, make sure to sprinkle at least one typo in here. And no em dashes you hear?"

  • Faculty at the college I work for are kicking and screaming about AI and students using AI. They don't want to use new tools so they're just trying to outright ban students from using them.

    One smug English faculty said, "well it's not that hard. You just look for dashes in their writing."

    I responded with, "you know you can just tell it not to use those, right?"

    Blank stares.

    I hate it.

    • The writing is a mandatory part of the learning process. Outsourcing it to tools is skipping and cheating. Nothing new here. It was the same when the tool was your buddy or upwork before LLMs.

      Banning advanced graph calculators on undergrad math exams is not because "they don't want to use new tools", either.

    • If you didn't write it, you don't deserve credit for it. You don't learn by outsourcing your work to a piece of software.
