Whether LLMs can (or cannot) write well, better or worse than students, is irrelevant. The purpose of writing an essay is not the essay. The essay is how you pursue the goal of learning how to write, learning being the purpose. If you want to learn how to write you must write.

Cannot stop thinking of this case. The horror of it has been rattling around my brain, not just what her husband did to her, but how so many men were complicit in the abuse. How are we not in the streets in uproar, why aren’t more men talking about this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9d…

Woman describes horror of learning husband drugged her so others could rape her

Gisèle Pélicot waived her right to anonymity after her husband admitted the offences.

My view is that if you choose to use the moments after a spate of anti-immigrant riots and racist pogroms to crackdown on migrants and asylum-seekers - then you are fuelling the fire that the far-right is burning.
Benny Hunter@BennnyH20 Aug 2024
Labour is announcing a "major surge" in immigration enforcement. They will aim to achieve in next 6 months the "highest rate of removals of those with no right to be here, including failed asylum-seekers, for five years". Will increase detention capacity to achieve it.

I am in complete agreement with @JonAshworth Politicians who have fanned the flames of anti migrant hate, racism, Islamophobia should definitely be held to account. Nigel Farage, Braverman, Patel, Sunak, too many Tories too name and this lot too 👇🏾

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the @mcgillu occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️‍🔥
