My son has gone back to college in his late 20s, after having a lot more experience in everything, including writing. He’s become an excellent writer, but he has expressed that he’s worried that his younger peers are such bad writers, that the profs will think he must be using AI.

I just told him to keep talking in class, and they’ll figure out real quick that he really is that smart, and they won’t question his writing. That already seems to be happening.

It’s when the dummy shows up with a well written paper out of the blue, that their red flags go up.
