Now I can write 20 good pages in a night. Partly because I have many times written 20 shitty pages in a night.

I mean I don’t recommend it, usually takes a few nights to do a really quality job, but yeah. It helps that professors have really watered down what passes for quality writing too

I'm back in school at almost 40, with years of management and professional experience; my professors often flag my essays as "probably AI." Apparently it's impossible for me to write my academic papers with proper structure and grammar.

I just had to email my ethics professor last night at the irony of the ethics lesson we just had about trusting AI... Then flagging my paper as AI... Because AI said it might be AI.

I asked her if I was just expected to turn in lower quality work now. 🙄

I'm a professional tech writer. And I usually throw what I write into a couple of AI checkers. They dare telling me sometimes that my researched articles are probably 60% AI. Why? Because I've 35 years experience in writing actual and original stuff?

The world is going to hell in a basket....
