So what has happened is last year we warned students, take all AI off your computer that you're going to be applying with. Take off Grammarly, take off it, everything. Strip it down. Don't let it touch your computer. Because last year we had 20, I think it was 27 students that we caught with our AI checker before they ever sent it off to college. So we were able to scan it, find AI. We brought it to their attention. Of course, the student said, but I didn't do it. I, you know what, I didn't do it, right? And I, okay, they didn't, but they may not have realized that AI touched it because it's everywhere now. So I tell students, do not use AI to write your essay. They're gonna know. It's, it's everybody still knows the difference, right? Well, parents don't touch their essay because we were taught period double space. Now it's period single space. So parents, you give it up all the time, right? And so just your child is applying for school. We want them to feel confident that they can do it on their own. And that means if they're going to use AI to brainstorm or to, you know, put the structure together, do it on another computer. Right. It's kind of like when they— this one is a great one, parents, you'll love this. Student told me, I did not use AI. And I said, okay, so show me, you know, what you did. And so he showed me in Google Drive how he did his essay. We in Google Drive, you can go back in history, copy and paste, and it was a copy and paste. It was not a creation. And so it— I don't— I'm not looking to hurt a student or to make them into people, but I'm saving students from themselves because they think that they are smart enough to outsmart college. And so we're helping our students know it's very dangerous to think you are smarter than a college.
