Claim	C004

Claim: 22% of students admit to submitting AI-generated content as their own work.

BLUF: Confirmed with attribution caveat. A BestColleges survey (March 2023, 1,000 students) found that 22% of college students had used AI tools on assignments or exams. The claim does not specify a source, but BestColleges is the most likely origin. By October 2023, the same survey series found 56%, suggesting rapid change.

Probability: Very likely (80-95%) | Confidence: Medium
