'If the baby could speak, she would scream': the risky measures to feed small babies in Gaza

Lizzie Wolkovich at Statmodeling (statistical modeling group at Columbia University) decided this week on some new rules for herself relating to graduate student training:
"I will only chair defenses where the the student states they did not use generative AI at all in the writing of their thesis."
"I will only join committees for graduate students when the students agree not to use generative AI at all or in limited (pre-defined) situations for their writing."
You can read her explanation in full at the link, but the gist of it is, it is not worth her time reading AI-generated text and writing feedback to try to help the student if the student didn't write it and it was AI-generated in the first place.
Another episode in the new saga of society trying to figure out how to incorporate (and when not to incorporate?) generative AI.
