This is mostly true, but it is also important to recognize that “hey just invent a new evaluation methodology” is a rough thing to ask people to do immediately. People are trying to figure it out in a way that works.

Sadly, this is not what is happening. Based on the article ( and personal experience ), it is clear that we tend to happily accept computer output as a pronouncement from the oracle itself.

It is new tech, but people do not treat it as such. They are not figuring it out. Its results are already being imposed. It is sheer luck that the individual in question choose to fight back. And even then it was only a partial victory:

"The grade was ultimately changed, but not before she received a strict warning: If her work was flagged again, the teacher would treat it the same way they would with plagiarism."
