This was funny:
'Last year, Josh McCrain, a political-science professor at the University of Utah, gave students a writing assignment that included, in indecipherable small text, instructions to include a reference to Batman. If they copy and pasted the assignment into AI, the instructions would be incorporated.
Sure enough, a handful of students turned in papers with nonsensical references to Batman. Going forward, McCrain is tweaking writing assignments to focus more on current events AI is less familiar with and beseeching students not to outsource their work to AI.'
