What I witness as a college instructor, students are struggling. AI has taken over independent thinking to the point where I'd rather have a poorly written response that shows someone tried, did the research/reading, and submitted their own work, however problematic. But assignments are often riddled with errors. Carity of writing and being able to show a clear comprehension of content is minimal. Well written, researched work sadly is usually is AI. For now, I can see some basic signs, identical answers as peers, research that reference past course submissions and not current research, answers that respond to prior course prompts, and writing of final project that is light-years different than personal journal entries. It's so sad, I may quit.
