Many students aren’t allowed to use artificial intelligence to do their assignments\u00a0\u2014 and when they catch their teachers doing so<\/a>, they’re often peeved<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the\u00a0New York Times<\/em><\/a>, one such student \u2014 Northeastern’s Ella Stapleton \u2014 was shocked earlier this year when she began to suspect that her business professor had generated lecture notes with ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

When combing through those notes, the newly-matriculated student noticed a ChatGPT search citation, obvious misspellings, and images with extraneous limbs and digits \u2014 all hallmarks of AI use.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s telling us not to use it,” Stapleton said, “and then he\u2019s using it himself.”<\/p>\n

Alarmed, the senior brought up the professor’s AI use with Northeastern’s administration and demanded her tuition back. After a series of meetings that ran all the way up until her graduation earlier this month, the school gave its final verdict: that she would not be getting her $8,000 in tuition back.<\/p>\n

Most of the educators the NYT<\/em> spoke to \u2014 who, like Stapleton’s, had been caught by students using AI tools like ChatGPT \u2014 didn’t think it was that big of a deal.<\/p>\n

To the mind of Paul Shovlin, an English teacher and AI fellow at Ohio University, there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to using the burgeoning tech in the classroom. Students making their AI-using professors out to be “some kind of monster,” as he put it, is “ridiculous.”<\/p>\n

That take, which over-inflates the student’s concerns to make her sound hystrionic, dismisses another burgeoning consensus: that others view the use of AI at work as lazy and look down upon people<\/a> who use it.<\/p>\n

In a new study<\/a>\u00a0from Duke, business researchers found that people both anticipate and experience judgment from their colleagues for using AI at work.<\/p>\n

The study involved more than 4,400 people who, through a series of four experiments, indicated ample “evidence of a social evaluation penalty for using AI.”<\/p>\n

“Our findings reveal a dilemma for people considering adopting AI tools,” the researchers wrote. “Although AI can enhance productivity, its use carries social costs.”<\/p>\n

For Stapleton’s professor, Rick Arrowood, the Northeastern lecture notes scandal really drove that point home.<\/p>\n

Arrowood told the NYT<\/em> that he used various AI tools \u2014 including ChatGPT, the Perplexity AI search engine, and an AI presentation generator called Gamma \u2014 to give his lectures a “fresh look.” Though he claimed to have reviewed the outputs, he didn’t catch the telltale AI signs that Stapleton saw.<\/p>\n

“In hindsight,” he told the newspaper, “I wish I would have looked at it more closely.”<\/p>\n

Arrowood said he’s now convinced professors should think harder about using AI and disclose to their students when and how it’s used \u2014 a new stance indicating that the debacle was, for him, a teachable moment.<\/p>\n

“If my experience can be something people can learn from,” he told the NYT<\/em>, “then, OK, that\u2019s my happy spot.”<\/p>\n
