Something incredibly sad and disheartening about academic dishonesty in essay-writing not being cool anymore because of AI. Back in the day you used to have to use your brain to be academically dishonest - pretend to interview someone imaginary and forge the signature, performatively cite (Zheng, 2018, pg. 14) and hope nobody followed up on it, look your tutor right in the eye and tell them you had food poisoning and needed an extension when you were just hungover. Now academic dishonestly means you're just getting some robot to chug fifteen litres of water and lie to you. Truly a cigarettes-to-vapes level of bad tech making shit uncool.
