Agreed. I should add most of my students are wonderful and are doing their best under difficult conditions. It's writers & musicians who should fear AI the most, not university lecturers perhaps. Read this excellent piece by John Naughton? observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Morning fellas. Just jumping in here. After teaching Creative Writing to undergrads for 8 years a lot of what Mr Battis says is correct. Many can't engage with a banana. But it is (like Dan says) a legacy of Covid rather than AI. None of my 50 students' work shows traces of AI (you can always tell).
