"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This logic doesn't work out in the given place.
Cryptographical signatures are used to determine that the thingy was made by the person you trust.
Problem is, in this case, the creator of those commits is the one that is not being trusted.
The professor will just go, "Oh you made it with AI and then used
git commit!".I have had a similar experience in the past, where I made some MATLAB code for a Mathematics course, which the professor said I had copied from someone else (pre-AI times), because he had given the same assignment to other people in the university. This, he claimed without even looking at what I made and without remembering the specific question he had passed to me.
There's still the trace left showing the reasoning, which is harder to fake than a complete document. The commits and commit comments would show a human style of building a narrative.
Yeah, that might make it easier when he feels the need to report the professor to the HOD.
Except it doesn't matter when the HOD just wants to shit on you, because they can just say that you are good at AI-ing and that's how you did it.
shouldve went to the dean or the department head.
Should've *gone
The Maths HOD was my professor.
