I don't know that the article was all that badly written, but you missed a couple of points that I'd call essential:
One, it was 32 students out of 35 total who used AI and then didn't even bother to check it, so only 3 students even made an honest attempt in the entire semester.
Two, the professor told the students that they were allowed to contest the grade if they wanted, and only 2 out of the 32 students even tried to contest it.
Really? I thought it read like a Facebook post.
Regarding specific numbers, I guess they add context to severity, but as far as the headline and snippet of the OP my short snippet answers the bullshit clickbait, which was my intention.
Also later in the article it mentions another professor who estimated that only 2 of their 86 students didn't use AI to cheat.
Like, what are we even doing any more?
