Just saw a Grammerly ad that was basically like "here's how our tools can do your homework for you. And we will also run our AI language detector so you can change the words enough to make it seem like your own."

Would be great to see all other Irish universities and colleges follow this example @tudublin.bsky.social
@atu-ie.bsky.social disengaged last week from X with immediate effect. My own personal account signposted a move to @bsky.app over twelve month ago. Starting to see movement from many organisations in Ireland now, I believe in the right direction.

This was crucial - it really primed students to be concerned about what parts of their skill - and what parts of their humanity - might erode if they unthinkingly used automation. It set the tone in I think a crucial way.

Anyway: here's to my students. They took it seriously, they argued it out, and they came up with something that I doubted at first, but ended admiring more than any system I've designed on my own.

And I think... it mostly worked? I mean, I'm sure the system is cheatable to somebody who was trying to break it. But for a system designed to mostly get students actually engaged in the critical act of thinking, without a punitive ChatGPT detection system... it was... really good?

In general the class vibe was: that they knew they were going into a work environment in which AI would be a tempting tool, and that some of them would want to use it in various ways, but that they also wanted to have systems to keep them honest about actually developing real thinking skills.

We decided I should do a default light-commenting, and hopefully anybody that AI-wrote the final paper wouldn't request heavier commenting, and it would save me from heavily commenting on an AI paper.)

And it was... amazing? Like, the quality of discussion was extremely high, students ended up doing a ton of live thinking and live tweaking and pushing on each other. It wasn't the same as writing, but it most of the students were seriously thinking, and pushing, and applying.
