College instructor turns to typewriters to curb AI-written work
Once a semester, a Cornell University instructor requires her students to complete an in-class assignment using typewriters — an exercise to help them understand what writing, thinking and classrooms were like before everything turned digital. The exercise started in 2023, as Grit Mathias Phelps grew frustrated that her German language students were using generative AI and online translation platforms to churn out grammatically perfect assignments.

"Werden wir von ChatGPT empfohlen?" – Diese Frage höre ich in jedem zweiten Kundengespräch. 🎯
Das Problem: Die meisten können es nicht beantworten. Es gibt kein Search Console für KI-Systeme. Keine Impressions, keine Klicks.
Ich tracke das seit Monaten systematisch. Die Erkenntnis: Marken mit starkem Entity-Profil tauchen in LLM-Antworten auf. Der Rest wird ignoriert – egal wie gut der Content ist.

I'm still thinking about a longer blog post about LLMs, and one of the things I keep thinking about them is how they not only cause direct harm to the community, but also make people more suspicious of one another. And then I've been pointed out this text:
"I'm Kenyan. I Don't Write Like ChatGPT. ChatGPT Writes Like Me."
"""
I am a writer. A writer who also happens to be Kenyan. And I have come to this thesis statement: I don't write like ChatGPT. ChatGPT, in its strange, disembodied, globally-sourced way, writes like me. Or, more accurately, it writes like the millions of us who were pushed through a very particular educational and societal pipeline, a pipeline deliberately designed to sandpaper away ambiguity, and forge our thoughts into a very specific, very formal, and very impressive shape.

One thing I'm seeing more of is someone arguing that "Artificial Intelligence" only refers to Large Language Models such as ChatGPT and Gemini, and not anything else.
I grant that in 2026, maybe that is how laypeople use the term.
However, AI is a broad umbrella. Example: many include supervised machine learning models such as linear regression and decision trees, even though those are deterministic algorithms to produce a result.
