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