I work at an Australian University and can confirm that use of AI to generate content is rampant. It's often quite blatant and at least in the subject I teach easy to spot, but in a lot of subjects it would be much harder.

A lot of my subject is group work and presentations, so if a student uses ChatGPT or even for that matter another human to write their content, they usually get caught out in the presentation when they can't answer questions about it.

I also work in IT there, and can see the volume of traffic on our wifi hitting ChatGPT. I'd love to blockhole the DNS but I suspect our service desk would be inundated with calls claiming "the wifi is broken" and not just from students...
