Incident 7211 Report
Reported Use of Purportedly AI-Generated Student Accounts in Online College Courses

2024-06-04

An adjunct professor at an unspecified community college reportedly suspected that some students in his online art history and art appreciation courses are AI-powered spambots. These "students" allegedly submitted peculiar assignments, such as analyses of non-existent artworks and descriptions of sculptures using painting terminology. Additionally, their engagement with the college portal is reportedly minimal. The professor reportedly believed the spambot students aimed to fraudulently obtain financial aid by remaining enrolled in courses.
