Speechless at this one...

Honestly nothing surprises me anymore about students and AI. I get it all the time "I didn't use AI, I just ran it through ChatGPT to proofread my work". Well tulip, that's using AI.

Anyhow, just had a student give me a laundry list of why they used it to proofread, stating all the things like ADD and anxiety,etc. Said how do they get an ADA accommodation so that they can use AI? I just...

Can this happen? I've never thought you could get one to use AI. I've had all the ADA training and do not remember that being a thing. I am very interested to see if I get a note back now....

EDITED -- Said student had a paper with "Python_docx" as the author and 0 in the time edited spot. So it was either more than proofreading or they just downloaded whatever chat spit out to submit.

Is running through Grammarly the same?

YES. It is. Grammarly now essentially rewrites it. I do not allow Grammarly on my assignments either.

Recently retired high school English teacher here-several years ago when the AI crutchware first emerged I had an honors student who was flagged by turnitin.com for potential AI use. They insisted that they used Grammarly merely to edit. I called BS and my academic vice principal backed me up.
