If there’s an A.I. that can write school reports, there has to be an A.I. that can analyze a school paper for how much of it was AI-generated.

A full classics update for the 16th:
Phyllis is thinking of spending a pretty penny on a 5th Anniversary gift of her own, to devoted hubby Walt. A nice holiday vacation, just the two of them. Maybe two. Does Squint’s ranch put out a brochure?
You know, I was in the Navy. I learned how to swear like a sailor… took me about five years to fully purge it from my system after I got out. But I guess I didn’t learn ALL the naughty words after all.
Lazy is ready to pay for the news clipping, but at George’s prices she doesn’t want to buy a pig in a poke. She wants a little taste of the “merchandise”.
Slim the Christmas tree seller doesn’t have to provide ‘service with a smile’ at his tree lot. And if you gave him a hard time over at the garage, prepare for minimal help in finding the tree that will make it a Merry Christmas at home.
Just like that “Curtis” strip I mentioned earlier—where brainy Barry wrote super-intelligent reports for the two dim-witted bullies, who were left back a grade for cheating!
So the whole point of these uncanny children going to space in the first place was so that they could write a school report about the solar system, and despite the fact that they almost died out there and had to be rescued by their evil talking doll, they didn’t even bother applying the awesome knowledge they acquired first hand to their assignment and just had an AI write it. And it did a [lousy] job! Which they should’ve known it would do, because it was the thing that almost got them killed in space in the first place, due to its incompetence! And yeah, sure, writing a report for elementary school is a lot easier than navigating an interplanetary craft, but I’m sorry, if a machine comes close to killing me, I stop using that machine, even for lower-stakes stuff. I’m not going to say these kids deserved to die on the cold surface of Mars, but they definitely deserve bad grades on those papers.
You notice how whenever Gertie runs into the kids she always announces them all by name? It’s almost as weird as the Jazz Hands everyone does when they talk.

A walk out back with a hick’ry switch will cure that problem.

I never cheated, I usually simply didn’t to the assignment.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:
So the whole point of these uncanny children going to space in the first place was so that they could write a school report about the solar system, and despite the fact that they almost died out there and had to be rescued by their evil talking doll, they didn’t even bother applying the awesome knowledge they acquired first hand to their assignment and just had an AI write it.
