This. It was a nice toy, but people moved on when they realized it couldnt do useful valuable work

I really don’t understand this viewpoint. I use ChatGPT almost daily to help with my professional work. I regularly ask it to do things that I know how to do and have done many times, but don’t want to write from scratch. That coupled with things I know how to do or know are possible, but don’t wanna have to go read all the documentation to remember the parameters to pass into a CLI tool or similar.

I agree with this as a professional but aren’t many students likely still using LLMs?

Anecdotally, I believe a lot of college administrators have realized that Google Docs / etc with tracked changes is difficult for students to fake, relatively easy to "sniff test" for plausibility, and helps protect students against false positives from AI/plagiarism detectors [ugh]. Maybe the gig is up.

Also anecdotally: despite the embarrassing scam of "AI detectors," many kids did not actually get away with cheating via ChatGPT last year. Issues like fictional citations, "as a large language model I cannot," and making up facts affect high school English papers just like legal filings or scientific articles about rats. And unlike scientific peer review, high school teachers usually read things closely and notice when something isn't right. You don't need an AI detector to be suspicious when an impeccably well-written essay discusses events in Great Expectations that didn't happen.
