I suppose it's possible that ChatGPT has improved to the point where it can produce an insightful undergrad-level paper on obscure 17th c. broadside ballads and manuscript satires . . .

Universities, take note. This is principled.
I get that Facebook and Twitter are "where the people are," but maintaining a presence on platforms that are increasingly unsafe spaces for a large percentage of their own communities sends entirely the wrong message, and does harm.
