I'd like to see the study extended to college grades, retention, and graduation rates.

Specifically I’m thinking about GenAi as source user and patchwriter.

Cue Philip K Dick

I find myself groping toward a rhetorical theory that gets at these issues from our field‘s perspective. I’m not very far along IMO but I’m trying to articulate how LLM writing is distinct from how novices and professionals write.

I would agree. Is there an obvious difference in how they use their social media to promote their work?

We think we should be all that but secretly believe we’re nothing but irrational and non rigorous.

It still can’t do it. It can identify the type of source it is, but it can’t evaluate according to criteria. It can only tell what criteria to use.

I want my students to see the limitations for themselves. Only then will they resist the temptation.

I had students try to use AI for source annotations, but it could only recite how one would evaluate sources without being able to read and evaluate them itself. The mismatch was obvious.

I’m with you. I’m at a regional comprehensive and all our issues, not just AI, are neglected with the focus on the Ivy League.
