THIS POST IS NOT PRO-AI. EDITED TITLE TO CLEAR CONFUSION

Think about it. LA teachers everywhere are probably choosing from a whole basket of topics like

"Should AI-generated imagery be regulated? Why or why not?"

"Should police departments use AI camera systems? Why or why not?"

"Do AI-generated chatbots improve customer service? Why or why not?"

It is such a philosophical controversy, that the questions about it that you could answer with an essay are endless

And many of them will make the AI write the papers analyzing AI.

"Should students be allowed to use AI to write their essays? Why or why not?"

That'd be a real mindfuck for any students actually doing that

It also expanded the amount of topics students can write about (aka cheat with AI). Before, you had to select the topic carefully and take the easy ones, now you can do anything (by shutting down your brain and be an idiot for the rest of your life).

It's an easy game, 'til you get caught

Though I suppose a bad student who still has an extra brain cell can just paraphrase AI

Will the robots kill all humans before the climate crisis gets us? It seems that AI is going to kill us one way or another.

Teachers are going to have such a fun time reading essays like that.

Chances are 10% apparently.
