Don’t use AI to write things that you present as your own work
What's happening
Students and creators on Reddit and Hacker News are warning against using AI to produce work you then present as your own. Reddit users report professors using AI detectors for essays, questions about detecting AI-made PowerPoint slides and videos, and a student saying a 7-page paper with 10 citations that they wrote was flagged 100% AI by multiple checkers. Hacker News posts bluntly advise not to use AI for work you claim as yours and not to announce you used AI for writing.
Why it's trending
Because detection tools and community pressure are flagging material as AI-generated, creating real academic and reputational risk now.

- Making slides
I know university professors are strict about AI and use AI detector when it’s essay writing, but what about powerpoint slides? Are there any ways for them to detect AI-made slides? What about videos?
