38+ min ago (1033+ words) By KELVIN CHAN and JOCELYN GECKER, Associated Press The rapid rise of ChatGPT and other generative AI systems has disrupted education, transforming how students learn and study. Students everywhere have turned to chatbots to help with their homework, but artificial intelligence's capabilities have blurred the lines about what it should " and shouldn't " be used for. The technology's widespread adoption in many other parts of life also adds to the confusion about what constitutes academic dishonesty. Here are some do's and don'ts on using AI for schoolwork: Chatbots are so good at answering questions with detailed written responses that it's tempting to just take their work and pass it off as your own. But in case it isn't already obvious, AI should not be used as a substitute for putting in the work. And it can't replace our ability to think…...

58+ min ago (572+ words) By LAURAN NEERGAARD, Associated Press Our immune system has a dark side: It's supposed to fight off invaders to keep us healthy. But sometimes it turns traitor and attacks our own cells and tissues. What are called autoimmune diseases can affect just about every part of the body " and tens of millions of people. While most common in women, these diseases can strike anyone, adults or children, and they're on the rise. "This is probably the most exciting time that we've ever had to be in autoimmunity," said Dr. Amit Saxena, a rheumatologist at NYU Langone Health. Here are some things to know. They're also capricious: Even patients faring well for long periods can suddenly have a "flare" for no apparent reason. Many start with vague symptoms that come and go or mimic other illnesses. Many also have overlapping symptoms…...

2+ hour, 27+ min ago (161+ words) The Gophers are expected to get two key defensive players back against Wisconsin at Huntington Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Linebacker Devon Williams and cornerback John Nestor were not listed on the U's unavailability report, setting up their return for the Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe. Both will be welcomed back against the rival Badgers' strong running game, especially Williams, the U's leading tackler with 73 through 10 games. Williams and Nestor were sidelined for the 38-35 loss to Northwestern at Wrigley Field last week and were badly missed as Minnesota gave up 525 total yards to the Wildcats. Matt Kingsbury, who filled in for Williams last week, is listed as out, per the U, along with offensive lineman Kahlee Tafai and defensive lineman Sam Macy. Minnesota will still be without backup safety Garrison Monroe, receiver Cristian Driver, defensive lineman Theo Randle, cornerback Simon…...

3+ hour, 58+ min ago (698+ words) Seattle sports the NFL's fifth-best defense this season by yardage allowed (301 per game) and seventh by points (19.7). Minnesota is set to roll into Seattle with a struggling offense that has eclipsed the 20-point plateau and thrown for north of 150 yards one time in its last five games. Now the Vikings are forced to hand the keys over to an undrafted rookie quarterback for his first career start. All signs point to disaster. So why does it feel like this may just work? Perhaps it's the Vikings' recent history of offensive success. Wins haven't always followed, but this passing game has delivered high volumes of production largely regardless of who's been under center up until this season. The combination of Kevin O'Connell, Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson is a lethal one. Or maybe this is about Max Brosmer. An undrafted quarterback…...

3+ hour, 59+ min ago (1132+ words) DULUTH " There are moments in every season that are lower than others, but the finale of Duluth East's regular-season game against Stillwater definitely felt like one of those. The Greyhounds were on their way to a 4-1 loss and it seemed that sophomore Darby Friday had missed Lilly Kuettel on a scoring opportunity. The goal was meaningless to the eventual outcome, but Kuettel wasn't pleased. "There was only like 10 seconds left and I underestimated how long it took to shoot," Friday said. "I could have passed it to her back and she was mad. She knows how good I am and that I could have gotten it to her." Perhaps, Kuettel wasn't as gentle as she should have been, but there was a reason. "We were obviously down and maybe there was a time when I was open in the back,…...
