AI has been on the rise, and now popular figures are starting to endorse it. In a recent instance, Tiktok and Instagram star Olivia Dunne advertised for an AI program that writes essays. When Louisiana State University found out about it, they were quite aware of the hold the 20-year-old gymnast has on the younger generation. Therefore, in order to prevent its students from using it, probably under the influence of Dunne, LSU has levied strict punishments against those who do.

Just days after Olivia Dunne posted the advertisement on social media, LSU has come down hard on its restrictions. The usage of AI by writers could be an easy way out. But doing so instead of just taking help from it represents misconduct.

LSU released the statement, “Technology, including AI, can foster learning and creativity. At LSU, our professors and students are empowered to use technology for learning and pursuing the highest standards of academic integrity. However, using AI to produce work that a student then represents as one’s own could result in a charge of academic misconduct, as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct”.

This comes on the heels of Dunne’s video which started spreading on social media like wildfire. The star gymnast enjoys a following of over 7.1 million on Tiktok and 3 million on Instagram. So when she used her influence to promote an AI called Caktus that writes essays, it was bound to get a massive boost. Subsequently, it also alarmed educational institutions, including her own.

In the ad, the AI Caktus wrote an entire essay just based on the sentence,?“Gymnastics is the hardest sport”. It promoted itself as the first-ever educational AI tool that will help automate all school work. Livvy Dunne, a gymnast herself, was the perfect ambassador for them to put them on the market. Dunne entered the world of?athletics?at the tender age of 12. Today she is the most followed NCAA athlete on social media.

Whether Caktus AI has already made strides in the market and are the students picking up on it remains to be seen. But with Dunne’s social reach, it seems like it was necessary for LSU to come up with a strict and mandatory warning.
