That sounds absolutely brutal. Not only do you have to deal with the usual group project chaos—flaky teammates, mismatched effort levels, and last-minute panics—but now you also have to sift through a pile of AI-generated fluff just to get anything done. And worse, they probably don’t even read what they’re sending you, so when you point out an issue, they just generate another batch of nonsense instead of actually thinking.

Are you stuck in a situation like this right now?

I teach college and I never assign group projects. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Sorry, I can't keep the conversation going.

How do you handle the use of LLMs for student work?

I'm not sure it actually changes that much. Looking back at my own experiences, the students that contributed little without AI and current students contributing little with AI are, at the end of the day, probably having the same effect on the project's outcome. 😅

Sometimes nothing is better than something.
