STOP CHEATING!

I am attending online through the Pathway predictable, and it is truly disheartening to see such rampant cheating with the use of AI. The discussion board for my class as of this writing is, other than my post, 100% AI generated. That includes replies. And it's awful because these people don't know how obvious it is, how to make it less obvious, or at the very least how to make their posts different from the other posts already on the board.

Is embarrassing to be associated with this school and for that matter, the church, when so many are sitting here scamming their way to a degree that others have to actually work for. That we are connected to a religious institution should be a point of pride, or at the very least a neutral point. She bringing shame to it. My degree feels cheapened. It's disgusting.

If we moved away from discussion boards that exist purely for “filler” assignments and instead pivoted to something like a video assignment that would be much better. I am not going to try spend 30 minutes to answer a discussion board for a class when if I write out a response will get marked down because of the quality of responses that ai can instead write that will guarantee an A. Especially when it’s a class required for a major that feels useless or not relevant.
