Jacques Berlinerblau is a professor of Jewish civilization at Georgetown University. He has written several books on secularism, including “Secularism: The Basics” (Routledge). He has also written about American higher education in “Campus Confidential: How College Works, and Doesn’t, For Professors, Parents and Students” (Melville House).
Last week’s New York Magazine story “Everyone is Cheating Their Way Through College” chronicled the myriad ways undergraduates are abusing ChatGPT. This past Tuesday the New York Times shared its own shocking reveal about AI malfeasance in the classroom: It turns out that professors are abusing Generative-AI chatbots too! The Times piece focussed on a complaint made by a senior at Northeastern University.
It’s under these circumstances, and these circumstances alone, that I would suggest we extend some imaginative sympathy to academics; if they use AI to mark term papers and stack their slide decks it’s only because their classes are crammed and their wages are meager.
