them all the time. I've seen AI proponents online doing a lot of whining that those critical of AI haven't been converted to loving AI, or at least shut up. The widespread dislike of AI isn't just in education: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220955444
The study that article is about is here:

78% said cheating on their campus has increased since GenAI tools have become widely available, including 57% who said it has increased a lot. And 73% said they have personally dealt with academic integrity issues involving their students’ use of GenAI.
48% said their students’ research has gotten worse because of GenAI, compared with 20% who said they believe it has gotten better.
74% of these faculty said the use of GenAI tools will affect the integrity and value of academic degrees for the worse, including 36% who said the value of degrees will worsen a lot. Just 8% said GenAI’s impact will affect the value of degrees for the better.

“These faculty are divided about the use of generative AI itself,” said Lee Rainie, director of Elon University’s Imagining the Digital Future Center and a co-author of the report. “Some are innovating and eager to do more; a notable share are strongly resistant; and many are grappling with how to proceed. At the same time, there is broad agreement that without clear values, shared norms and serious investment in AI literacy, we risk trading compelling teaching, deep learning, human judgment and students’ intellectual independence for convenience and a perilous, automated future.”
