Lol who? The administration that's asking teachers to start incorporating AI into their teaching? Odds are they're being praised for this exact behavior

The complaint would get an LLM generated response

Wow this complaint is such a vibe! I totally hear you and this is so valid, what you've said is extremely well laid out and super articulate, it's so easy to understand where you're coming from. Let's work through this thing together, because finding resolutions is really what I'm all about.

Yea, they're getting praised for it behind doors but that's where you name the school, post it on social media and make it go viral. "Why am I paying thousands of dollars for an education just to have my paper reviewed by AI? Does the school condone this?".

A friend went back to college and one of her teachers told the class to use AI to brainstorm topics, research, outline, fleshout, proof, and polish their papers; basically use AI for everything. She sent me a screenshot of the syllabus so I forwarded that onto the head of the department, the dean, and the board saying a similar "Why are you charging someone to just be told to use AI?". Before midterms, the teacher was fired and the class was told to no longer use AI.

Yes. Tell the admin. If they know students dont want AI reading their essays, that will push them, even if only a little bit. If you are an 18-25 undergrad and have parents who can call, do that, too. I have heard from admin that students actually want this because it is more efficient or at worst dont care. Be vocal. Say you want real TAs doing real grading, giving real feedback.

The flipping, of course, is giving them real essays to read.
