> student responded by showing a response from ChatGPT claiming it wrote his email

Which is actually fine. Students need to do their own homework. A teacher can delegate writing emails.

But if he didn't delegate, and it said he did, that would suggest that the methodology doesn't really work.

Apologies to everyone I upset by this comment. It was just an innocent mis-reading of the joke. Lesson learned.

I believe you just got whooshed.

Yes, I missed the student using the teacher's trust in those tools to make them even more angry and neuter their angry email that they (probably) actually wrote themselves. Well-played.

A person arguing in favor of LLM use failed to comprehend the context or argument? Unpossible!

I don't think I was arguing for LLMs. I wish nobody used them. But the argument against a student using it for assignments is significantly different than that against people in general using them. It's similar to using a calculator or asking someone else for the answer: fine normally but not if the goal is to demonstrate that you learned/know something.

I admit I missed the joke. I read it as the usual "you hypocrite teacher, you don't want us using tools but you use them" argument I see. There's no need to be condescending towards me for that. I see now that the "joke" was about the unreliability of AI checkers and making the teacher really angry by suggesting that their impassioned email wasn't even their writing, bolstered by their insistence that checkers are reliable.

Yeah, I'm really sorry. I didn't realize it would upset so many people.
