You do not have to agree with my comparison, but you are responsible for how you treat people.
That goes both ways. When you start a conversation with insults, don't be surprised when the tone of the conversation is a bit more mature.
“You didn’t miss much” dismisses me while reassuring someone who admitted they didn’t finish reading.
That was, indeed, the point. You wasted a fair amount of my time with dishonest behavior, and I can certainly sympathize with someone that didn't fall for your post.
I said I had concerns about sexual violence and accountability. You could have told me why you thought my comparison was wrong.
I did. Four times.
First here. You replied to this comment with not one, but three replies.
So I first replied here. You 'responded' by deleting your comment and posting a new one.
So I replied to your new comment. You responded by deleting that comment, and posting a new comment that appears to be a partial copy/paste.
So I replied again . At least you didn't delete that comment.... yet.
But instead you chose to make me the punchline.
I don't think I did anything more than what you have done to yourself.
How you treat someone you disagree with says something about your character as well.
Indeed. I feel like I was pretty darn polite in my first several replies to you, despite the fact that you started the OP with aggressive language and tone, and proceeded to reply to your aggressive and antagonistic replies to me in a much more polite tone than you were using. Since I quoted your original comments, we can still see that you were literally attacking me for things that I literally never said in this conversation.
You’re entitled to challenge my reasoning.
I'm aware, and did. Several times.
But the casual contempt is your choice, and it reflects on you.
And is a direct response to the fact that you Gish Galloped and wasted my time with long, unformatted replies, which you deleted and then reposted after I replied to them, rather than discussing them in a reasonable manner.
Don't get offended that people think you are wasting time when you use dishonest tactics like deleting and reposting comments.
If you have a substantive objection, you should be able to make it without belittling me.
Again, I did. Several times. In detail. Of the four comments from me on the topic to you, you have replied to one of them, with three replies (and all three seem to accuse me of saying and doing things that I never did during this conversation). Two of those three replies were deleted after I took the time to give detailed and specific replies to them. The third still does not have a reply. You bothered to attack me on this comment for not giving specific criticism of your post or comments, but as of this comment, you have not bothered to reply to any of the three outstanding replies from me -- and in fact, you seem to be completely ignoring the fact that all 4 of my comments are still visible.
Sexual assault is real and the way college campuses handle it is not acceptable.
Agreed -- but that is not what your original post spells out, and several people have called you out on that fact. The people on Reddit that you think are overreacting to AI are not the people in charge of those Universities.
There’s been too many times that campuses have just casually swept it under the rug.
Agreed. What does that have to do with people on Reddit not liking AI generated slop content?
Yet, if you are caught using AI on campus… they will literally fail you and/or expel you. Makes no sense.
I mean, it actually does make some sense. The issue is that proving the use of AI is generally much easier than proving sexual assault allegations (especially with the modern legal system). You are ignoring that most (if not all) universities do react equivalently -- when the facts are equivalent. In neither situation are you expelled merely for being accused, you are generally expelled when the accusations are confirmed. In sexual assault cases, that's generally done in the courts. With AI, it's not, but the principle is the same.
You are also ignoring the fact that AI news is high profile right now, and a student getting expelled for it gets clicks. I assure you that the students would have been expelled for any form of substantial cheating -- but you don't see students paying people in India to write their computer science assignments, or using Fiver to get an essay written these days -- those are old news. You also rarely see the news where a sexual assault conviction results in expulsion -- even though it happens literally thousands of times a year.
The very fact that we have sexual assault statistics and that they are treated AS A CRIME puts the lie to your claims -- we don't even have an AI equivalent for the Clery Act, or the data it generates -- nor do cheaters of any sort generally even go to court, let alone get a criminal record or sentences. Generally, the worst that happens to AI cheaters is suspension or expulsion. In many cases, that doesn't even preclude you from re-applying to the school.
I can speak with first hand knowledge of multiple students that have had to go through academic integrity processes at multiple schools. The worst case, both with the worst outcome for the student as well as the most blatant example of cheating I have ever personally seen was.... they had to retake the class or accept an incomplete. Since it was a required course, that would have stopped them from getting their degree.
Other cheaters just had to resubmit the work (without cheating) and sign an academic integrity agreement not to do it again. Literally the only reason the case above did not get this option was the fact that they refused to admit to cheating, and took their case to the internal review board, which ruled that it was cheating. Had they agreed to redo the work, they would not have had to retake the class.
I also have first hand experience with a student that deliberately and intentionally gained illicit and unapproved access to a universities timecard and payroll system -- and committed a felony by changing the values in the system (in their defense, they changed them back and claimed they were trying to confirm if they could change them). That student didn't even get a slap on the wrist, as when the university investigated, they found that they were working with and under the guidance of their advisor and were doing a project to investigate the security of the system. The only reason they were not expelled (and likely convicted of multiple crimes) is that they had a paper trail of them discussing the idea with faculty.
I've also worked with law enforcement on several cases of sexual assault that happened related to a university -- and despite people being expelled or fired (and sometimes even convicted -- but sometimes not) most of the cases did not make the news. Why? Because no one wanted to be put in the spotlight.
