He Has A Long Battle That Will Not End - Tumblr Posts

4 months ago

Got an E-mail from a professor just now, informing the class that he read and graded our essays. It was a bit of a longer message, mainly, because he launched into somewhat of a tirade over how he felt some of the essays had been written using AI. He went into detail a bit, exlaining that he found certain essays to be very dull and uninspired and took this as a sign that it was not written by human hand.

Now, me being me, having a very low opinion on much of my writing until proven otherwise, and also having written this essays over the course of about two and a half hours the night it was due, immidiatly felt kind of adressed by this? To be absolutly clear, I did not use AI. Writing is the one skill I have invested time and energy in, I am not about to outsource it, no matter how stressed and tired I am. But I also knew I had turned in hastily written trash that may very well have been perceived as uninspired and/or boring.

So reading this, I get kinda mad because, like, I didn't use AI. I get out my phone, start a voice message to my friend and launch into a rant of my own about how the professor KNEW that I had a time issue and many deadlines at the same time, and that I ASKED him for an extention. What am I supposed to do after a weekend where I worked two 10 hour shifts and a thesis dealine one week ahead, perform miracles??? If he wants quality writing from me, he should have given me more time, so honestly, if he even dares to insinuate that I....

Anyways, while complaining, I open the document he sent back to me in a seperate E-mail. i scroll down to the very last page just to see if he made any comments regarding suspected AI use underneath the essay. There is a short note there.

I reads "A good essay"

Anyways the moral of the story is AI appaerently writes even worse than me at midnight
