‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

    Are you a college professor in the US? I’ve been considering attempting to go that route, but I don’t know if it’s actually worth it, considering how few and far between the positions are, and that most universities seem to employ mostly adjunct professors at seemingly slave wages. Am I just being pessimistic, or is it as bad as it seems? I want to teach creative writing. I plan on teaching English as a second language when I finish out my bachelor’s.

      You’re right about the adjunct professor situation, it’s really BS and should be illegal. They will get away with doing it as much as possible. I think a lot of professors have to start that way until an opening comes along

      which subject? faculty positions are very competitive to be honest, especially in stem, and if your doing research , you should have written science papers, or been published quite a few times. since its teaching english.essay writing, some colleges might be desperate enough for english teachers, faculty positions seems hard to get , because there are tenure, and you might be a temporary hire/adjunt. i just know stem/bio department is super competitive asf.

      [not the person you asked]Colleges are having a rough time of it in today’s political environment, so keep an eye on that, too.

      Does you college library subscribe to the Chronicle of Higher Ed? I find it neat to read the headlines, see what other people are thinking on.
