 AI Double Standards and Public CriticismSometimes it seems virtually everyone is using Artificial Intelligence now—students, teachers, authors, even doctors. Recently, two college professors were caught red-handed using generative AI, leading to public and institutional criticism about transparency and double standards:* A business professor at Northeastern University was nailed using ChatGPT to generate lecture notes and assignment feedback, even leaving clear AI prompts visible in the documents. He wasn’t fired, but it caused a public uproar, with one student demanding a refund of his tuition. The university didn’t pay up, but the professor had to publicly acknowledge the lack of transparency, and admit his mistake.* The AI Grading Fiasco: An agricultural professor at Texas A&M gave all his students a failing grade (”X”) after using ChatGPT to assess their final essays. Shortly afterward, the professor’s own use of AI and the fairness of his grading tool was called into question.The AI Writing Paradox: When the Tool Replaces the ThinkerPicture two writers, both using ChatGPT to draft an article about cardiac surgery techniques.Writer A is a cardiologist with 15 years of operating room experience. When the AI confidently declares that “coronary bypass procedures typically require only 90 minutes of operative time,” she immediately catches the error—most bypass surgeries take 3-5 hours. She deletes the sentence, corrects the timeline, and moves on. The AI saved her an hour of drafting; her expertise saved her reputation.Writer B is a freelance blogger who’s never set foot in a hospital beyond routine checkups. He reads the same 90-minute claim, thinks “that sounds efficient,” and publishes it. Three days later, an actual surgeon eviscerates him in the comments. His credibility evaporates.The question facing every modern writer isn’t “Can I use AI to write?” It’s “Who holds the leash?”The Verification Problem: Fluency Isn’t AccuracyAI writes with the confidence of someone who’s never been wrong. It will declare, without hesitation, that the Battle of Hastings occurred in 1077 (it was 1066), or that Shakespeare wrote 42 plays (he wrote 37-38, depending on attribution). The prose flows beautifully. The facts might be garbage.This is the hallucination problem, and it’s fatal if you can’t spot it.Consider these real scenarios:The History Professor uses AI to generate a rough timeline of the French Revolution. When it places the Reign of Terror in 1791 instead of 1793, she notices instantly and corrects it. She’s using AI as a research assistant whose work requires heavy editing—not as a primary source.The High School Student copies the same AI-generated timeline for his essay. He doesn’t know the Reign of Terror date off the top of his head—that’s why he needed help. He submits the paper. His teacher marks it wrong. He learns nothing except that AI can make him fail.Or perhaps, the AI tells you that pandas are carnivores even though you know they’re herbivores. (Well, maybe that’s a bad example. There are strong arguments on both sides.)Better example: AI says Shakespeare wrote 42 plays (he wrote 37 or 38, depending on attribution). The point is, without domain expertise, you’re flying blind. The AI sounds authoritative, whether it’s correct or not. You must possess an internal compass so you’ll know the difference.Skill Level Determines Whether AI Helps or HurtsThe Professional Writer: CatalystScenario: A veteran journalist needs to write a 2,000-word feature on urban housing policy.She uses AI to:* Generate a quick outline of standard talking points* Summarize three 40-page policy reports into bullet points* Draft transition sentences between sectionsThen she spends her time where it matters: conducting original interviews, crafting a compelling lede, refining her argument’s logical flow, and injecting her distinctive voice. The AI handled the grunt work. She handled the thinking.Result: She cuts her drafting time from 8 hours to 5 hours while maintaining her reputation for incisive, original analysis.The Novice Writer: CrutchScenario: An aspiring blogger wants to write about urban housing policy but has never studied economics or city planning.He uses AI to:* Write the entire article from scratch* Generate all the arguments and evidence* Create the structure and conclusionsHe edits for grammar but can’t evaluate whether the arguments make sense or the evidence is cherry-picked. He’s acting as a copy editor for a machine that doesn’t understand economics.Result: He publishes 2,000 words that are grammatically perfect, structurally competent, and intellectually hollow. He’s developed zero writing skills and couldn’t write an equally good article without AI tomorrow.The skilled writer uses AI to amplify mastery. The novice uses AI to bypass the hard cognitive work that builds mastery—and never develops the skill to write ...
