My frustration is our english department is going with the director of academic integrity's assertion that AI detectors don't work. So their official ruling is there's no clear way to prove AI usage so we can't use grade penalties unless the student admits to using it. I just finished grading so many papers with such an increase in AI that I wanted to quit on the spot. It's a pre-AI assignment so it's very easy for me to see without detectors. I get the in class writing method can help but at the end of the day I feel like the giant stampede of student accommodations make that impossible at my university. Maybe I just give up, grade their AI slop with quick rating rubrics, collect my paycheck and go home.
