A word to the student who cares about the truth about AI
Now, there’s an old phrase, which may or may not be outdated now with the way things are going. “Fake it until you make it.” That phrase really doesn’t seem to fit with the way the AI space is now.
Now is the perfect time to take what i am writing here with a healthy and positive perspective, because when ai is implemented and managed wisely as i have advised, then it could revolutionize and transform how students study and ultimately lead to them being extremely well-educated.
However, as i have explained to you, you have to be willing to do the work. If you turn in ai created work for your professor, or teacher or your professor or teacher wants to see evidence of the work, then you will be caught and fail!
