With the publishing of ChatGPT and it's ability to write essays, answer questions, etc. at the very least at the graduate level, it seems likely that people will begin to use it for school work. Will a student be accused and subsequently punished for such an action.
This question will resolve positively if there is a public news report that indicates a student being punished for using AI to complete school work (where they aren't allowed to) at any recognized post-secondary institution.
Will likely need to use some discretion here.

I'm a community college English professor, so strictly speaking not a university, and not a public news report...but I've already failed two papers for using AI. The telltale signs are clear - perfect grammar and a paper that starts off promisingly but meanders into less and less relevant territory until it ends in absurdity. Like plagiarism, another tell is writing that doesn't resemble anything the student has produced in class previously. The Chronicle of Higher Education has covered the issue extensively, but more from the angle of how the technology might be productively used or induce us to rethink the way we teach composition. No punitive scandal yet.
@SabrinaCaine Yes, I'm pretty sure it's happening now, the question is mainly going to be about a public news report and the student being punished.
@MarcusAbramovitch I will keep an eye on the Chronicle, but tbh the story won't be provoked by the student's academic dishonesty - so run-of-the-mill as not to be noteworthy - it will be a student who fights back claiming that it isn't, strictly speaking, plagiarism.
