But some students are now pushing back on that, saying that many of these detection tools are inaccurate. Well, today we're joined by New York Times tech reporter Kashmir Hill, who has been tracking how AI is reshaping daily life and the ethical gray zones it poses.

Last fall, Hill actually used AI to run her life for a week, choosing what to wear, eat, and do each day to see what the outcome would be. Hill is also the author of Your Face Belongs to Us, a secretive startup's quest to end privacy as we know it. which investigates the rise of facial recognition tech and its disturbing implications for civil liberties.

Hi, Tanya. It's so nice to be here. You know, I was talking with a professor friend recently who said he really is in the middle of an existential crisis over AI. He teaches a writing intensive course called And he actually worries that with these tools, his job might not even exist in a few years.

And so I wanted to know from you, can you give us a sense of just how widespread the use of this generative AI is, how it's become kind of a commonplace on college campuses and schools?

You know, this isn't surprising to me because people, especially students, always are trying to find a shortcut. Plagiarism has always been an issue in academia. But the stories we are hearing are kind of astounding. Yeah.

Your latest piece kind of turns the tables because you took a look at how professors are using generative AI to teach, and what did you find?

Wow. Where is the learning in this? And I'm just wondering what professors are actually saying. I mean, I guess a big part of it, as you write in this article, seems to be a resource issue.
