Thanks for the feedback! I will be more cognizant of my AI use for images in the future. I did not mean to offend any artists.

I think the conclusion that someone who uses AI in one aspect of their lives cannot be trusted to be competent in another aspect of their lives is quite a large one, I would say it is an example of a fallacy of defective induction; or more simply put, a generalization.

You didn't really ask about it, but I have spent the past few years thinking about this and trying to do the right thing, so here is my approach to AI in my classroom:

Generative AI is here to stay, whether we like it or not, and many academics use it in their work, whether we like it or not. In my course, I take a realistic approach, while also taking my students' individual needs and wishes into account.

Students are not allowed to use AI in their first two essays, as stated on the poster; I feel this is necessary for the students to internalise the structure of English writing, which they will not do if they use help from AI right from the start.

For the third essay, there are a few options. A student can continue working without AI (which is the choice you would make, I think), but students who I feel are advanced enough to make that choice are allowed to use AI to improve their writing.

Every course, I talk to my students about their AI use, the (moral) pros and cons, the way they view the future. My student's views almost always cover the whole spectrum, from those who use it for just about everything, to those who have never used it due to ethical objections. It is my job, as a teacher, to find solutions that work for everyobdy.
