This is going to be long.

Last semester I suspected I had a major issue with use of AI in my survey courses, so I inserted what is known as a trojan horse (not the virus kind) into the directions of a paper assignment. As it turned out, I did in fact have a major problem, and a post on Threads about it accidentally went quasi-viral and ultimately became a Huffington Post article and an NPR interview. (Links at the end) The response from fellow educators and the majority of other readers was general horror, while a minority of voices accused me of setting my students up for failure (by catching them cheating) and creating a classroom atmosphere of distrust (where the AI use had apparently not already done that).
