Let's talk about anti-AI slop: my plead for schools to teach AI literacy

People talk a lot about AI slop but what about anti-AI slop? My friend's kid at uni is going to school for AI, yet is required to score nearly 0% on those fraudulent AI-detection services. To pass, he had to rewrite an authentic, well-written paper to say:

"We get good help, more happy people, and less money spent."

Then, on Bluesky, Justin Bird shared that his daughter had to rewrite her genuinely-written personal statement for uni, because some tool the university was known to use suggested paragraphs were AI generated / AI advised.

Trash. Especially when there are anti-anti-AI services out there like (undetectable.ai)[https://undetectable.ai]. This service works incredibly well, but now students have to pay for two additional services: one to pretend like they can detect AI and one to evade these jokers. If OpenAI can't create a paid service out of it, I seriously doubt others can.

Worse, my dbatools book, written before I even knew about generative AI, was clocked at 13% AI. What a fraud.

The better alternative for schools is to embrace AI, like California State University, where I attended before graduating from the University of San Francisco. CSU partnered with an AI company to give students and staff full access to AI for their coursework and research.

This lets students use AI tools properly and learn how to work with them effectively. It makes way more sense than forcing them to jump through hoops that don't exist in the real world, where most of us use AI daily.

If you're faculty at any school, please encourage them to spend their time and money on AI literacy programs and clear AI guidelines instead of unreliable detection tools. Your students will thank you.
