I'm surprised at the number of comments that give up and say that "AI" is here to stay.

I'm also surprised that academics rely on snake oil software to deal with the issue.

Instead, academics should unite and push for outlawing "AI" or make it difficult to get like cigarettes. Sometimes politicians still listen to academics.

It is probably not going to happen though since the level of political apathy among academics is unprecedented. Everyone is just following orders.

Prohibition does not solve the problem of needing to detect violations of the prohibition.

Cigarettes aren't, at all, difficult to get, they are just heavily taxed.
