A professor at Arizona State University described AI-driven misconduct in an online version of “Introduction to Cultural Anthropology,” alleging that some students outsourced intellectual engagement to tools such as Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT. The instructor reported repetitive and generic submissions, discussion-board posts lacking substantive content, and repeated references to materials not assigned. The article notes that the same instructor teaches both on-ground and online versions of the 100-level course, and it emphasizes vulnerabilities in asynchronous formats that may be particularly susceptible to AI misuse. Students in the online course faced weekly reflection or application prompts tied to course units, which the professor says made bot-like patterns detectable. The account positions this as a repeatable challenge for AI-era assessment design in higher education, especially for fully asynchronous general-studies requirements where students often juggle work and family responsibilities.
