I mentioned the continued ban on programmable calculators in many academic contexts. Those contexts still include some portions of undergraduate education. This is fifty years after the introduction of programmable calculators.
Realistically, the answers the students gave the teacher were probably motivated by the practical benefits that come with giving teachers the answers they want to hear…bullshit questions are likely to produce bullshit answers. It’s not like first year college students haven’t had twelve years of academic standards moralizing talked at them.

Like I said to you in another comment, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the article.
At least one of the polls was anonymous, too. There were no punishments in the class for using AI, in fact at least a couple of the students later revealed they had been using AI for everything.
This wasn't a "bullshit inducing poll", it was an experiment in perception vs reality, and how they modified those perceptions after the experiment had run its course.
