                      Students who use generative AI or other machine

                      generating ideas, or checking grammar, any
                      submitted work will be subject to the above

                          generative AI based on large language models
                          as the "calculator for writing." My view on AI
                          usage may be stilted because of my discipline
                          -- most scientists suck at writing and so any
                          tool that helps one express their ideas
                          clearly (spell-check, grammar check, AI) is
                          always welcome. The trick is to know enough
                          about the subject to recognize where AI goes
                          off the rails -- like a pilot who knows when

                          80% of this report was AI-generated). Note the
                          first sentence of the "Theory" section where
                          Ohm's Law is applied to a vibrating string.
                          Wow! This student did not learn enough physics
                          to recognize that Ohm's law relates voltage,
                          current, and resistance in a conductor, and
                          has nothing to do with tension, mass, and wave
