Law professor argues against shaming people for using AI in their work
Overview
A law professor argues that condemning people for using AI is unfair and hypocritical, because readers have long judged writing by its substance rather than the tools used to produce it.
He says AI use should be criticized only where the work is meant to teach a skill, such as law school, where students who rely on AI skip the practice they need. The report is a single opinion piece and does not include data on how often AI use is criticized or how it affects readers' judgments.
