I have personally experienced multiple people claiming they've written code when in fact they used AI. I've been told to use ChatGPT to improve my performance in coding by my manager. I've heard that an AI took a third year college math exam and got a 95%. It is not uncommon to hear someone boast that they used AI to write an entire essay in 10 minutes. Lastly, I have experienced AI generated BS in the form of automated comments to an automated text from a sales agent from a company that obviously has nothing to do with how its sales AI is being used.<br> <br>This is not right. This is not ethical. I'm wondering how we are going to deal with AI generated performance-enhancing drugs (PEDS) in our education system and in our industry. I read an article from a professor teaching a computer science class, and they said that professors should not be afraid of AI. Instead of fighting it, we should teach students how to use it correctly ("teach a person how to fish, instead of giving them a fish"). I do not agree with that statement. The fact is that AI generated code, essays, and data is much, much worse than a human, especially when the prompt is written by a human ("trained on a dataset of 200 million lines of code").<br> <br>I don't know how we are going to deal with this, and I'm not going to pretend that I have a solution to this problem. I just know that it is not right. I don't like seeing all of the nonsense AI generated BS out there, and I don't like seeing the lack of integrity in people who are so proud to claim they wrote something they did not write.
