        Did a paper with a 20-year old. Intelligent, well-spoken girl. She was absolutely astonished that there are keyboard shortcuts for Cut and Paste.

          Never underestimate the lengths an intelligent (but lacking in ‘common sense’) person will go to when learning something the hard way simply because the easy way didn’t exist in their mind. The results of that hard work on their depth and breadth of knowledge is unmatched.

        Well they aren’t teaching themselves. They’re learning from their predecessors like every generation before them. You think they’re all struggling academically by choice?

      Good on the three people who wasn’t caught, either because the don’t use AI or because they at least read the question and the llm output. And gold star if any of them noticed the white text but didn’t tell the rest of the students!
