After getting a degree in unemployment, my son has gone back to college to get a degree that might lead to a job that doesn’t require a name tag, and he’s doing an amazing job. I can honestly say that I’ve never seen any college student so committed to getting the most out of every class he takes. I’m super proud of him.

He’s extremely intelligent, and an excellent writer, and one of the things that worries him is that professors will think he’s using AI. I’ve told him that profs won’t expect that from him, because he participates in class a lot, so they already recognize that he knows the material, especially when his parents excellent test scores are added in. None of that used AI, so when he turns in a writing assignment that’s of equal caliber, it won’t stand out as unusual, that’s just the level he normally operates at. They know he doesn’t need AI.

I keep reminding him that it’s the dolt who suddenly writes a coherent essay that looks suspicious.
