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.

Discussion boards genuinely just aren’t worth our time as students. I don’t fw ai either but I excuse it for actual slop assignments like discussion boards

99% of the school experience is slop assignments. I literally only took a single class that ended up being useful for my career and it was more of a trade school type class. If engineering students are having AI write their history of art essays oh well.
