@dexerto: Two University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign professors, Karle Flanagan and Wade Fagen-Ulmschneider, noticed dozens of apology emails from students accused of cheating in their introductory data science course all began with the same phrase: "Dear Professor Flanagan, I want to sincerely apologize" . The professors had caught over 100 students faking attendance through their Data Science Clicker app, then projected the identical AI-generated apologies onto a lecture hall screen on October 17, drawing laughter from the class . The university said no disciplinary action was warranted because the students' behavior didn't violate the syllabus's AI policies. #university #professor #cheating
