Generative AI significantly transformed college education over the last three years, with students increasingly integrating tools like ChatGPT into their academic routines. By spring 2024, two-thirds of Harvard undergraduates utilized AI weekly, while a British survey indicated that 92 percent of students engaged with AI tools. The perception of these technologies has shifted from being merely a novelty to an essential part of students' habits. AI's capabilities are widely recognized, leading students to believe that AI-generated content can successfully meet academic standards.
