  "account": "During my computer science studies, my university has been plagued by a constant back and forth regarding the use of artificial intelligence. One week they insist that AI must never be employed, the next they mandate its use in assignments and course materials. This flip-flopping makes for a frustrating learning experience. They use AI to generate assessment briefs, but then penalize students for utilizing LLMs in their work. The quality of these AI-generated materials is questionable, with errors and poor design. As a result, the workload has tripled, with students struggling to meet deadlines and understand the material. Tutors are overwhelmed, receiving data from automated systems that flag them as at risk of failing. This leaves students feeling unsupported during their studies. Despite the university's efforts to scale learning through AI, it has resulted in an unsustainable workload for both students and faculty.",
