I asked Chatty for a TL;DR:

Western fear of AI comes from a fascist obsession with "owning" ideas. Using AI isn't a big deal — if students can "cheat," it’s because courses are badly designed, not because students are inherently dishonest. Most students don’t cheat; the narrative that they do is exaggerated to justify punishing them unfairly. Academia exploits students, charging massive fees while offering poor educational value and using dishonesty accusations to control them. Education should be free and empowering, not a tool for gatekeeping and oppression. The current system betrays the purpose of education and contributes to larger societal decline.

I think you went a bit too far. Most of this is also only accurate for the US.

the problem with your response isn't that you used AI, it's that you attempt to use it in place of your own agency and intellectual ability instead of as a supplement to it.

correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like the idea here is that you want me to point out how clearly piss-poor your response is and then flip it back on me to say "HA you're a HYPOCRITE!! SEE! AI IS BAAAaaaaAAaDDDdD!!!!"

students in the 2000s copying and pasting things mindlessly into Google and thoughtlessly regurgitating strings they find online were engaging in genuine academically dishonest behavior. that isn't because search engines are bad though, plenty of people used Google honestly, and I think anyone with a fucking brain can see that. so, why then, do people wanna make the same stupid-ass argument when it comes to AI? are you so fucking swept up in the zeitgeist as to not see your own hypocrisy?

like I said, all straw and no fucking man is what you people are.

and, if I am misreading your intentions here, which is assuredly possible... then I refer back to my initial statement in this reply.
