The son is a rising senior who, the complaint states, “excelled academically, athletically and is well known for his commitment to community and character; so much so that he is in the process of applying early action or early decision to elite colleges and universities commensurate with his academic record,” with Stanford University named specifically.

It sounds like they used AI to write this tripe.

“It sounds like they used AI to write this tripe.”

That’s the whole problem. There’s nothing wrong with using AI to gather resources in one place and then, on one’s own, to read those sources and use them to write a paper or a legal brief or a law review article. However, the true sin comes in when a wannabe writer tells AI to write a history paper, a legal brief, or a legal article. At that point the work product is not the ostensible author’s own work. Also, at least in the legal area, one or two truly lazy and inept attorneys have turned in AI generated briefs that didn’t even properly cite the apparent cases. Here of course, the student was being trained to do proper historical research, reach his own conclusions, and wright a comprehensible essay about it. Having AI actually do the work defeated the whole purpose of the assignment, leaving the student as ignorant and lazy as he was before he started.
