Florence Price showcased! I can’t ! Standing ovation and irony points are to the roof.

Seems that many students too are happy for reprieve from what is effectively an injunction to cheat in the blizzard of ads celebrating use of AI to ”increase productivity“ and the repeated reminders their future bosses will expect this from them.
Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”
Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.

Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.
