I'm just kidding.

I think it's more apathy than anything. But also - students are not prepared for college anymore. Not at all. They don't know how to study, read a book, think critically, organize information.

My kid thinks college is much more rigorous. He's studying abroad.

How do you prove AI use? Now, I think it is easy to spot, but who would turn in

This is tricky. Most universities use some version of copyscape to scan for AI.
