Maybe. I suspect that LLM use is already more common, but I don't have data on that. (It happens without needing to involve anyone else, after all, so there's no need to compel or convince anyone other than yourself.)

We're only in agreement if we both think that it's possible to positively involve grad students. The lazy use, as you say, was always exploitative of both the students and the academic enterprise, but there was another way. With LLM use here (and in many contexts), there's no non-exploitative option

I didn't miss your point, and you're right about the overlap. Heavy LLM users are often bad actors in other ways as well.
November 30, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Agreed, but at least there's the chance of the former approach. LLM use is unacceptable in this context, period.

That's what I assumed, but I've heard plenty of arguments for involving foreign ownership.

I'm with Carl. I don't outsource, but one could get grad students involved in review work as a component of their training. That's radically unlike LLM use.

Do you mean Tsawwassen, rather than Point Roberts (since the point is American territory?

Shorter, as Max says, and there's maybe an argument for distributing across multiple corridors (for security: fire, earthquakes, etc), but the insistence on a northern route is weird.
November 30, 2025 at 5:17 PM
I do disagree with building a pipeline, for myriad reasons, but you're right that there's no compelling reason to go north. When proponents see no cities on the northern map, they think either that it's available for their free use, or that objections from Indigenous nations are irrelevant.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Thank you, Theresa. I'll pass that on.

I can't find anything comparable at Bath (or at Bath Spa, for that matter), but here's the page for Sydney: www.sydney.edu.au/students/aca...
Artificial intelligence
As a student, it's important to understand when you're permitted to use artificial intelligence (AI) in your studies and during assessment tasks and exams.
