[ExI] Why everyone is starting to sound the same

[William Flynn Wallace]

I avoided giving college assignments to a group of students.  In variably
some will do most of the work all of them will get credit for.  Whose work
am I really grading?  People love simple solutions and easy ways out.
Letting an AI do your work means you share credit with the AI.  How do you
grade that?

Are people grading AIs?  That is, you submit your work to more than one AI
and compare quality.  I assume that's being done and people are chosing AIs
based on these data.  Surely they are doing that.  Eh?
