I'm marking some student assignments at the moment and one yesterday stood out, but not for the right reasons. The language was professional sounding and articulate, polished even, but the flow of meaning meandered all over, repeated itself and lacked structure. Overall, the assignment did not impress (whilst superficially using impressive sounding, professional language). Then at the end of the references a statement that ChatGPT had been used to tidy up language, improve phrasing etc. "all in line with the institutions AI policies". If the student had taken the time to read and understand the brief, do the work and then create a clear narrative, they would have done so much better. AI may be seductive, but it is not always good! #AI #ai_slop
