It's not just posers, it's also an issue of just being easy, so even a seasoned, experienced professor can use it to avoid hours of prep for materials that would then be above the cut of the LLM content. Still lowers the standard, but without even changing the professors.

    they can just AI generate all thier slides, and course material and just read off it verbatim. before AI, we had a biochem teach in college that only read off slides, very unhelpful in learning, when the tests came around it wasnt remotely similar to her slides at all. she would rather do research, which i assume most profs would than teach. not really surprising most students either got C-s or Ds in her class.

    even before Ai, stem professors dont really have time going through peoples papers, or exams, so they use a software to screen out the paper of said students, its still pretty subjectively grading students. because its assuming things like is this student lifting the material from somwhere else? or is talking about what you what want, or assuming a specific sentence is relevant or not.

    Yes, absolutely. Laziness (on anyone's part) isn't the result of or unique to AI use. That includes laziness on the part of schools in not doing their job in staffing properly, and pushing professors and teachers to pick up the slack.
