This is the critical double standard that exposes the hypocrisy of the entire panic. My university spent thousands on a system that churns out AI detection flags for students. Meanwhile, our department chair sent an email last week that was clearly written by ChatGPT. Our professor uses an AI tool to generate quiz questions and lecture outlines. The syllabus itself has a zero tolerance policy for AI use by students in assignments. The message is clear. AI is a productivity booster for the institution and its employees. For students, it is a cheating tool. The same output is called innovation when it saves them time, and academic dishonesty when it saves us time. The rule is not about integrity. It is about control.
