Kinda Showing Your Cards there, Maverick.


When this is the prompt shown going into your artificial intelligence essay writer in one of the ads you're using to shill it on social media, you know what the service you're offering is being used for, and who's going to use it.

I was going to name the company, but it doesn't matter. They're all pretty shameless in their purpose and marketing, so picking one out of the crowd as the most shameless seems moot.

And yet students still appear stunned when instructors call them out on their use of AI.

The irony is many of the students are going through machination after machination to try to conceal their use of AI -- in other words, putting effort into making a silk purse out of a sow's ear when that effort could go into making the silk purse to begin with.
