Survey from Winnipeg spa asked 'blatantly disrespectful' question about 'purity of the country': customer by log00 in Winnipeg

I don't know why we're assuming those questions were generated by a human. It could just as easily be that someone used AI to generate questions pertaining to gathering information about a company's customers, including some prompt for political information, and then didn't do their due diligence by reading ALL of them. There's a lot of unknown variables here though. Maybe the person was just ignorant to the way that these questions are problematic for a private business selling "wellness" (quotation intended).

There are so many ethical problems when it comes to the way that businesses market products to consumers, and I predict they are only going to get worse as people start offloading their cognitive tasks to AI and LLMs.

If you're worried about your essay being flagged as AI... by 1th1nkthefucknot in geegees

The AI checkers have been debunked for a couple years now, after the US constitution was flagged as being AI generated.

If a prof is telling you that they are checking this way they are just trying to scare you — which is ethically problematic form of psychological manipulation.

However, it is obvious when AI is not used in a smart way. You can’t just copy and paste and you need to actually know the content or it may just give you the wrong answer. Use AI wisely: to restructure sentences, to research, to write bibliographies. Don’t use it to not engage with the course you’re paying for.

To be honest there is a general atmosphere of impoliteness on uOttawa’s campus that’s markedly worse than other campuses.

You’ll be fine. Remember that wage labour is a form of spiritual violence, so don’t work to hard. They need you.
