'Why do you think it's A.I.?'

A very simple question. If you'd watched the same movie every day for 15 years and it suddenly had new dialogue, a few extra pauses, and different tones/color schemes, wouldn't you notice?

Well, this is my 9000th gun control paper.

I have 1 class that had no A.I. issues at all, and I wish I could buy them something.

Are we talking about weddings?!
We had half catered from a BBQ place and a lady who catered Korean out of her house. My side ate all the Korean food and all the Korean guests went for the BBQ.
Wedding cake from Sam's club.
I wanted a sundress, but SIL gifted me a ballgown, so...

My husband better not leave me because I could not date again.

I read, 'Where's the best place to eat?'

And my no hesitation response was 'Over the sink.'

Giving an extension seems like a nice idea until they turn in something lollipop shortpants crackerjack nonsense and now only have a couple days notice for a rewrite.

Which kind of tea is soothing? WHICH KIND?!

I might be a little on edge after grading the last stack of essays from my high school college students.

I wrote something like 'If anyone uses A.I. for our personal reflection assignment, I WILL haunt their dreams.' And I kind of mean it.

Social media fast for the weekend. Posting to keep me honest.

If you work with young people and are trying to A.I. proof your writing assignments-

I suggest assignments that are very specific and/or require evidence for support and (very important AND) are short.

The generalizing nonsense is super apparent in a shorter assignment.

Dear teachers,

It's almost May.

That voice that said 'you know what? I need a new project.'

It was wrong. Now go grade something.

Also, is me, I am teachers.

I think we've been brainwashed into declaring allergies as 'not sick.'

Just respiratory issues, itchiness, and eye problems.

Normal, healthy, go-about-your-business things.

Kid has a cold. It's uncomfortable, so I kept them home from school.

But it's a cold. No need for a Dr.

Except the school wants Dr. notes.

I have a class I only canceled once.

So I could just stop the whole thing 2 classes early, right? That's math? It maths out?

Petty minute? Petty 30 seconds?

I blame the whole writing bot thing on education's push towards lame, 5 paragraph-ish, formulaic essays.

Made it so easy for someone to say, 'You know what? A robot could do this.'

Dear new teacher,

Posting the notes and/or a rundown of what you went over in class is a lifesaver.

Don't fall into the 'Can you send me what I missed?' vortex. It is endless.

'See the LMS.'
'See the LMS.'
'See the LMS.'

Whining about being bored is my surprisingly effective strategy to get students in workshop to ask me for help.

How about, now that people are reading less, we make a move to teach entertainment strategies in writing as part of basic writing classes?

Essays have to be fun. It will now be required.

I wouldn't mind this shift.

I'm very tired of reading all KINDS of quotes that don't exist. You should hear the things Dracula has been saying through A.I. in these papers.

So, now:

'What is the main conflict? Quote from the book for support. Attach a screen shot of the page where you found your quote.'

Main character test:

You see a dog go through a portal thingy.

So...

You going through the portal thingy?
