#2If you’re just wondering how students knew that the email was written using ChatGPT, the last line of the email weirdly reads “Paraphrase from OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model, personal communication, February 15, 2023”.

Yes, nobody would know. They weren't trying to hide it.

#4Perhaps tellingly, the DailyMail article calls the office of "Equity, Diversity and Inclusion" as the office of "Equity, Diversion and Inclusion".

This is the mind boggling part. What were they thinking? Was this copy pasta from OpenAI and didn't proof read it?

That's the only thing they did wrong. Why mention you used ChatGPT? It's like emails that end with "sent from my iPhone" like who cares what technology you used to send an email?

Maybe they thought it would be worse if someone found out and it was exposed that they didn't cite their source.

It's not a source in this case - if I understand correctly, they used ChatGPT to rewrite a message written by them.

To their credit, they attributed the assistance by the chatbot. (I don't think they carelessly copy pasted and did not notice the chatGPT notice).
Of course, humans expect honest and sincere communication in times of grief and not automated responses, so that's on the Deans for making poor decisions (just as poor as it would be to hire a PR firm to compose something for them --it probably happens but just does not get announced)

For clarity, as multiple replies seem to take this as a proofreading mistake: ChatGPT doesn't output such a phrase unless explicitly asked to.
