  "account": "Dartmouth College's president, Sian Leah Beilock, recently published an essay arguing for increased AI usage at the institution. Now, a review is underway to investigate whether her deputy, Santiago Schnell, overused AI in his writing. Schnell's recent op-ed in The Washington Post, about outsourcing writing to AI, surfaced as being \"100% AI-written\" by the AI-detection service Pangram. Schnell's response to the accusation only furthered the controversy, as he downplayed the role of AI in his process. This situation reflects a growing trend of individuals who write about the ethical use of AI, but are found to have themselves employed the very technology they critique.",
