Should I bend my knee to the machine for a good grade (lemmy.ml)

I have an assignment due in a seminar class that asks me to write an essay about AI. This wouldn't be an issue, except they've specified that I must write about the benefits of using AI in my chosen field and how it might advance the field-- plus I must also USE AI to complete my essay. Being in a field that values creativity and thinking outside of the bounds of normalcy, I fully disagree with the use of AI since it would actively steal the coolest parts of my future career.

So here is the conundrum: do I bow to the machine for a good grade since I'll be applying to graduate school soon, or tell the truth about how I feel about AI?

Yes you should absolutely lie your butt off for the grade if you're an undergrad. Just absolutely let the bullshit flow. But also put forward "the other side" (I.e. the truth) because that's usually also part of the test. But lie, lie all you need to. They don't care, you're not going to be convincing the grader.
