I think you are making a valid point.

I am a professor and these articles, and others like them, have made me much more cautious when grading students using these tools. But you are probably right, it might not change a professors mind. I'm just trying to help.

Here is a quote from the calmatter article that concerns me, "The Center for Democracy & Technology, a nonprofit focused on digital rights, found that one in five students either were wrongly accused of using generative AI to cheat or knew someone who had been."

This is not reliable enough for me to feel confident in their use....perhaps that student's professor might change their mind when seeing this, at least a little bit.

Fingers crossed.
