LSU warns Olivia Dunne following her TikTok, who boasts over 7.2 million followers on the social media platform. In the video, Dunne endorses an artificial intelligence service designed to assist students with their homework.
“At LSU, our professors and students are empowered to use technology for learning and pursuing the highest standards of academic integrity,” LSU warns Olivia Dunne in a statement shared by USA Today. “However, using AI to produce work that a student then represents as one’s own could result in a charge of academic misconduct, as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.”
What impact is Olivia creating with her AI homework video?
As of March 3, Dunne’s video promoting the AI homework service has garnered more than 42,000 likes and 935 comments since its upload five days prior.
“Need to get my creativity flowing for my essay due at midnight,” reads the text in the video.
Subsequently, Dunne demonstrated the utilization of the service by entering the prompt “Gymnastics is the hardest sport,” following which she expressed astonishment when the program assisted her in drafting an essay.
The video’s caption read, “@caktus.ai will provide real resources for you to cite at the end of your essays and paragraphs ;).”
The use of artificial intelligence in academic writing is a relatively novel subject that necessitates further deliberation, despite institutions having policies prohibiting plagiarism and mandating appropriate citation practices.
On February 16, LSU released a statement concerning ChatGPT, an AI program capable of generating text that appears human-written. Although the university has reservations about this technology, it seems that LSU is open to exploring its potential benefits.
LSU issued a statement, “But as with any technology, this is an ideal opportunity to reflect on our current teaching practices, experiment with new opportunities, and brainstorm ways they could be utilized effectively in a classroom.”
