Exactly the point.

I run teacher training on this stuff, and that’s always a core part of the message: education is about relationships. Damaging your relationship with a student over an accusation of AI use is backwards; instead, come with curiosity.

Also, AI writes poorly, so you don’t even need to call them out on it. And then when they (inevitably) include a source or fact hallucination, return the paper and explain that the error needs to be fixed, and why. That’s your “in” to explain ethical use of AI.
