<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a similar vein, I read an article some time back about an enterprising American prof with a Ph.D. in English who is quite good at ghostwriting papers and even theses and dissertations anonymously for a price. He has an amazingly fast turnaround time and is skilled at writing on a variety of topics. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I bet that his productivity will go through the roof when he harnesses the power of AI!</div>

But unbeknownst to them, an unexpected insidious academic threat is on the scene: a revolution in artificial intelligence has created powerful new automatic writing tools. These are machines optimised for cheating on school and university papers, a potential siren song for students that is difficult, if not outright impossible, to catch. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">Full story:<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/28/ai-students-essays-cheat-teachers-plagiarism-tech">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/28/ai-students-essays-cheat-teachers-plagiarism-tech</a></div>
