Wow, this is so different from my own experience (university professor here). I made using generative AI a requirement in my classes. It led to some inventive work, though most students are still figuring it out. I didn't make it central to the class, but will in the future. That being said, I don't assign an essay-type assignments but even if I did, I wouldn't use an AI checker like those mentioned in the article. At the start of the semester in January, I was shocked at how few students had actively used any AI tools (maybe 10%). At the end of the semester in May, I was shocked at how few of my colleagues had (25%).
