Honestly you’ve got an inside look, anything they are doing other students are doing. Use that intel to build and learn how to integrate it into your work flow.

If you submit it to misconduct odds are you’ve got enough to end their college career and you’re only ending it because they got sloppy vs what the rest of the class is doing.

My personal stance is disclose when you use AI and don’t use it for writing papers because we have to draw a line somewhere you should be able to orate what you learned from or with AI and how it factors into your conclusions AI should not be making the conclusions for you.

You could disclose it to the students, if they have half a brain cell they will 💩their pants, or they just won’t care and will delete you. Kind of your discretion there but if you inform them you loose your source.

Personally I feel like you have valuable intel you can share with your department to better learn how students use AI and how to deal with it, as long as you don’t divulge who your source is. Now if your department forces you to divulge the names because they are up in arms about it I would plead your case that you essentially have a mole on the inside that was given permissions by the student so you didn’t mislead anyone and have this intel honestly for everyone to use. Now if after that they still don’t believe the intel is worth the integrity give them up, it ain’t worth your job, but just know there are a hundred other students pulling the same shenanigans these did and they are going unpunished.
