I'm honestly surprised to see that teachers might use AI to catch students who use AI. Why don't they just require sources for data and look up the sources to make sure they're legit? Oh, I guess that takes time. Our teachers today may be lazy. I don't understand why anyone would use AI as a "source" for any information. I have never seen a person say that AI should be treated as a source. If teachers didn't allow it (and checked sources) then this wouldn't be a big thing for them.

I don't see how anyone could use it as a source. I enjoy using it for creative prompting and images, but would never trust it as a foundation for a paper or argument. If people understood what AI is they wouldn't either. Why aren't we teaching that?

We've seen the feedback loop in social media for a while. That's an interesting way to describe it. I think it's led to a lot of fringe beliefs looking like popular opinions like how Bud light sponsored Dylan M. There are real world responses that should self-correct the system. I'm just not sure how long it will take.
