I am just complaining. my professors are constantly like, "you should use AI to research this! ask AI how to do this in excel! employers are going to expect you to use AI to work more efficiently!"

they at least acknowledge that it's inaccurate and you always have to check it, but there's no mention of ethical implications, environmental impacts, the danger this bubble poses to the economy.

I hate it so, so much. I had a professor tell me that I can write, which is good, so I can prompt AI, which I didn't find especially flattering as far as "compliments" go.

I'm just so tired of it, guys.

oh God, this is worse than we they were telling us not to use wikipedia, even though studies showed it was more accurate than encyclopedia Britannica.

they also don't know how to properly prompt AI if that's what they're saying your good writing skills are for

Not to be off topic but I'd like to clarify, you're not supposed to use secondary sources regardless if you're supposed to cite primary sources. Wikipedia is legit, just not primary so you're getting information loss. You 100% could use it to lead to primary sources, though.

Not everyone understands why, though, including teachers. :/
