I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating
"I am no stranger to students trying to cut corners by copying and pasting from Wikipedia, but the introduction of generative AI has enabled them to cheat in startling new ways."

So Sex Pistols are now officially Sex Pistols, rather than the Sex Pistols? Like Eagles, Carpenters and Buzzcocks?

This is like the big-screen spin-off of a really bad 70s sitcom. Surprised they're not in the Costa Plonka.

I don't know whether the accusations against Farage are legit but I'm a few years younger than him and went to a similar school (selective, all-male, delusions of grandeur) and it was riddled with toxic racism. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

When people say "Look at her little face!" about a newborn baby, what were they expecting to see on what is a very small person? A huge, wobbly balloon face? #TheArchers

Why yes, @microsoft.com, I will HAPPILY provide you feedback on how exactly I feel about Word right now.
Screenshot of Microsoft asking for feedback on Word where I wrote: One of the worst times I had this year was spending DAYS trying to turn off that horrible, awful AI, copilot. I am a writer, I have spent years honing my craft, and it is frankly offensive to offer to rewrite what I just wrote with a stupid machine. I almost stopped using Word until I FINALLY found a way to turn it off. I don't want to use AI and you still keep trying to ram it down my throat and I hate it.

Heated phone call on the tram. Guy denying that he's insecure. VERY LOUDLY so we can all hear it.
