Oh wow.. I didn't even think about how this must be affecting students. Man, that sucks. @afturner had a teacher once when she was on an art program at University who was trying to get her expelled because he kept assigning her to do life drawing and he sure that she was tracing Michelangelo works and turning them in.
He kept failing her artwork and getting angry with her. Finally she took her shoe off and said "Look, it's my own foot!"
After looking back and forth from her foot to the painting, he was so embarrassed and ashamed. He wasn't very good himself and just couldn't believe that he had a highly gifted student.
That's crazy! Good for her for standing up to him. I'm not sure what this kid is going to do. We have been having a lot of discussion in education around AI lately. It's one of the hot topics at a lot of the conferences. Teachers are mostly split. Districts are trying to figure out if they should block it or allow it. It's kind of the wild west right now.
Well, it is kind of like Bitcoin. If your country blocks it, the rest of the world keeps using it and your country gets left behind. It is a rock and a hard place situation. I don't think AI is going away.
I agree with you.
