    1. if about three out of 20 students used AI, “that’s a cost I’m willing to pay at this point.

      How do you estimate that? Where do you get the number?

    2. I didn’t even think about that before I deployed it.

      It is important to consider all of the possibilities and consequences of the tools you use and make available to people.

    3. Members of both groups, however, agree that administrators need to provide more and better support for faculty members, who remain largely on their own as they try to adapt to this rapidly changing landscape.

      I wonder if admin has the means to help teachers? I would guess that they are floundering just as much.

    4. The tension surrounding generative AI in education shows no signs of going away. If anything, faculty members are sorting themselves into two camps. Some, like Wilson, are despairing over its interference with authentic learning, and deeply worried they will have to scuttle the meaningful assignments and assessments they’ve developed over the years because they have become too easily cheatable. Others agree that AI abuse is a problem but focus instead on how AI could enhance learning. Or they have found ways — in the short term, at least — to minimize its abuse while maintaining the integrity of their assignments. (Some argue there’s a third camp: the professors who so far are ignoring AI’s existence.)

      I think it is easy to be in the first camp but I also think that the second way of thinking is the only way we are going to make any progress with the problem. We need to think of new ways to utilize artificial intelligence in a positive way.

    5. A few didn’t know they had used generative AI because it’s embedded in so many other tools, like Grammarly

      Are there laws that require businesses to state up-front that they are using AI? If not, should students still be held accountable?
