It's not like you're trying to tell students not to use an AI short cut-off article, but an AI article. The Sydney Morning Herald gave a painful "unacceptability."

According to information from IT House on 3 June 3rd (day) in The Guardian, United Kingdom, Professor Keith Ellis, Vice-Chancellor for Quality and Integrity at the University of Western Sydney, used AI to write a review article on the theme of persuading students to perform their studies in good faith and not to use AI technology as a shortcut. The article was subsequently removed from the website by the Sydney Morning Herald, which published the article, stating that it was “unacceptable”.

Ellis published a review article last month in the Sydney Herald Morning Post, in response to the previous views of the scholar Kelly Moore-Gilbert. Mur-Gilbert wrote that she suggested that stepdaughters reconsider before applying for a university, because now students can easily hand over their studies to AI for completion, and the university rating seems to have turned into a judgment that “who can write the best AI hint”.

In its response, Ellis acknowledged that the “AI problem is real”, but still argued that students should go to university and study carefully. “Don't take a shortcut. Don't outsource thinking, however tempting. If the system is as fragile as some say, then real efforts will not be buried. The real effort will emerge.”

However, after the column was submitted to the AI testing service Pangram, the result was that the article was generated by AI.

In response to a question from the University of Western Sydney, it was acknowledged that Ellis used AI when writing his article. “For the purpose of writing a review, Professor Ellis uploaded his original 40000 words to a large model. The model summarizes her vast knowledge base and provides a hint. The early draft was based on this, reflecting Professor Ellis's own thoughts, ideas and views, which were drawn from her work as a leading global expert in the field for more than a decade.”

According to the University of Western Sydney, Ellis used a large-language model to draw on his own expertise and experience, demonstrating the maturity and proper use of generated AI. “Pangram may test the use of AI, but it is not possible to judge whether it is appropriate. We therefore believe that the use of AI in this case is appropriate.”

As of Wednesday morning, local time, Elise's comments did not disclose the use of the generated AI.

The editorial policy of Nine, the parent company of Sydney Morning Herald, allows authors to use AI for preliminary research and design tips, but explicitly states that AI may not be used to write articles for publication. The policy also states that the release of AI generated content must be clearly marked, although the use of supporting AI does not require a declaration.

Subsequently, Jordan Baker, editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, stated in an article published on Wednesday that Ellis's manuscript did not meet editorial guidelines and had been withdrawn. “The Sydney Morning Herald was not informed by the author or the University of Western Sydney of the use of AI in the preparation of the article. Clearly, this is unacceptable, and we are investigating further.”
