Prof: AI, was this thesis written by AI?
AI: yes, of course, you poor human!

AI, please write my thesis in the style of Shakespeare. Good luck detecting THAT as AI writing.

I thought my class to write a standard 5-paragraph essay and made all tests essay questions, written in class by pencil- had to have an opening statement, complete sentences, well organized, and a conclusion…was told I was asking too much for a final day of school and everyone I failed got a C minus.

Hi,
I would have failed every single one of your tests. Not because I don’t understand the material, or the English language, but because structured writing, to this day, makes me seize up. Blank space is one of my biggest triggers for executive dysfunction/PDA. Turning everything into a cookie-cutter essay is just a different form of trying to fit everyone into the same box. More selective than making everything multiple guess, but no better. I feel bad for your students.

Yeah idk I think if you’re in academia you should be able to produce a five paragraph essay. Being able to produce a narrative is an essential life skill. The world isn’t going to cater to your self diagnosed executive dysfunction forever so learning to adapt is probably a useful habit.

So, K-12 is “academia” now?
Lots of essential life skills are difficult for lots of people. Something we get reminded about every time it comes up by people who have no clue what they’re talking about yet see fit to tell others what they should and shouldn’t do, and how to feel about it.
No fucking shit.
I’m sorry Dr. Jackson, I’ll have to let my old neurologist, psychologist, neuropsychologist, and psychiatrist know that The Internet told me that the assessments I had done at ages 23 and 44 are all in my head.
You’re right! I’m just going to do that instead of being in constant psychological agony. Where were you all of my life? ❤️ If only I had someone talking down to me saying Just Do The Thing over and over again, from childhood onwards, life would have been so much easier.

I might have an idea why you freeze up with structured writing to this day, and I think it might have less to do with disabilities than you imply.

There are good teachers, and there are good methods for writing essays. Did anyone ever give you a graphic organizer to plan an essay? You should know how to put an essay together after coming up with an organized outline, and you should never write an essay from beginning to end without planning it out first in some way or another.

Final day of school. Yeah you’re a real piece of shit. Why wait until the last day to pull some shit like that. I bet you gave them a time limit and critiqued their handwriting styles too huh.
