The more I talk to professors, the more I realize how much teaching has changed over the years. It's no longer just about delivering lectures and grading assignments. Instructors now have to adapt to AI, online learning, constant emails, mental health concerns, changing technology, and students who expect quick responses and flexible deadlines. It feels like the expectations placed on professors have grown just as quickly as those placed on students. I have a lot of respect for instructors who continue to adapt, because teaching this generation seems far more demanding than it was even a decade ago.

I've heard conflicting advice about this and can't figure out what's actually true. Some people claim that if you upload a paper you wrote yourself into an AI platform for proofreading, grammar suggestions, or feedback, it could somehow increase the chances of it being flagged by AI detectors like Turnitin later, even though the work was originally your own. Others say that's just a myth and that AI detectors don't work that way. I've searched around but keep finding different answers. Has anyone looked into this in detail or had an instructor explain how these systems actually handle papers that were only uploaded for feedback rather than generated by AI?
