Olivia Dunne, a star gymnast at LSU, recently caused a stir on social media after she promoted Caktus Artificial Intelligence, an AI-powered homework tool, on her TikTok account. Caktus AI claims to be the “first-ever educational artificial intelligence” and Dunne’s video showed her using the platform to automate her homework. LSU, the university Dunne attends, responded to the video with a statement expressing concern over the use of AI in student work.
The use of AI in academics is a growing trend, and while it has the potential to be a useful tool, it also raises concerns about academic integrity. LSU’s response to Dunne’s video reflects these concerns, warning students opposed to using AI to produce work that they then present as their own. Academic misconduct, which includes using AI to produce work, is specifically defined in the university’s Code of Student Conduct.
Dunne’s massive following on TikTok means that her endorsement of Caktus AI could potentially influence a significant number of students. However, It remains to be determined how common the use of AI in academics will become, especially given the current concerns over academic integrity.

The rise of AI technology has made it possible for students to automate tasks that were once tedious and time-consuming. AI-powered tools like Caktus AI can help students complete their homework more efficiently and effectively. However, the use of AI in academics also raises questions about academic integrity and the potential for cheating.
LSU’s response to Olivia Dunne’s video highlights the significance of academic integrity and the academic misconduct has consequences. While AI technology can be a useful tool for students, it should not be used as a shortcut to avoid doing the work or to produce work that is not their own.
In conclusion, LSU’s response to Dunne’s video promoting Caktus AI highlights the growing concern over the use of AI in academics. While AI technology has the potential to revolutionize the way students learn and complete their work, it also raises concerns about academic integrity and the potential for cheating. It remains to be determined how prevalent the use of AI in academics will become, but for now, students should be cautious and use these tools responsibly.
