• A senior at Northeastern University filed a formal complaint and demanded a tuition refund after discovering her professor was secretly using AI tools to generate notes. The professor later admitted to using several AI platforms and acknowledged the need for transparency. The incident highlights growing student concerns over professors using AI, a reversal of earlier concerns from professors worried that students would use the technology to cheat.

Some students are not happy about their professor's use of AI. One college senior was so shocked to learn her teacher was using AI to help him create notes that she lodged a formal complaint and asked for a refund of her tuition money, according to the New York Times.

Ella Stapleton, who enrolled at Northeastern University this academic year, grew suspicious of her business professor’s lecture notes when she spotted telltale signs of AI generation, including a stray “ChatGPT” citation tucked into the bibliography, recurrent typos that mirrored machine outputs, and images depicting figures with extra limbs.

I encourage all students to sue their local universities that charge outrageous tuition for this crappy kind of an education as they could all sit at home using AI free of charge instead of a dim-witted Left-wing professor while being charged hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Too funny! And kudos to her. But shame on the rest of the student body there for staying aboard. What a rip off.

• AI is only as good as the information fed into it and since we know the internet is full of crap, then so inevitably is AI.
• Kudos to the student for being smart enough to spot it and the "professor" being stupid enough to not spot it and correct the errors in his notes. Maybe the teacher ought to attend her classroom? She ought to file a lawsuit against the university because they are basically defrauding their students.
• Any yutz can look up stuff on the web and use AI and Chat GPT, so, what is the value of a PhD then? If a PhD needs Chat GPT then he is no legitimate PhD. Having a PhD used to mean you were an expert, essentially being a reference standard on the topic. If the PhD is learning from AI and CHAT GPT, then who the hell is programming the AI and Chat GPT???
• Basically, if neither AI nor Chat GPT can detect bullshit from fact, errors from accuracy, that simply proves that there is no real "intelligence" in these inventions at all, they are just an encyclopedia on steroids given a 21st century spin.
• Eventually, with enough time and use, depending on AI and Chat GPT can only make people dumber because folks will just tend to think less relying on it, so effectively making the two programs "smarter," so, a self-fulfilling prophesy. Soon they will be pumping these new computer intelligences full of all kinds of deliberate bullshit so that they have an immediate plug into many people's brains to feed them yet more and better social engineering--- the WHO's brand of society control.

Remember, this occurred, was recorded and saved, then downloaded years
before AI was out yet to even fake such stuff.
