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?

Frankly, anybody in "academia" who is enamored with AI and isn't a computer scientist focusing on advancement of the field should resign. They're clearly not able to think in a way that is academically useful.

Reading the shit that the young people here talk about their college experiences really makes me want to go take some classes and dick slap these garbage professors.

Absolutely, and unfortunately it is all pervasive in academia already.
