Everyone in higher-ed is focused on detecting AI writing.

Bad news. That's not the real problem.

Here's the real problem, and it's much, MUCH harder to solve.

I assign my students a research topic, let's say in my Religion and Medicine class.

"Find an illness where two different metaphors shape how institutions address it. Describe how those metaphors work, and then argue for one of them as better."

The problem isn't students writing their paper with AI. Instead, they copy-paste the prompt into AI, and then ask for five possible topics.

AI spits them out. Then they paste in my syllabus, my name. They ask which of the topics would be most attractive to me, and best fit the themes of the class.

AI picks one.

Then they ask AI to write them a detailed outline of a possible paper, and give them the citations. They check the citations to make sure they are all accurate.

And then? They write the paper themselves, using all of that as a template.

The cognitive labor, the search, the process of figuring out what you believe and why? That was all outsourced. And that's the important part! The writing? That's just icing on the cake.
