WE's biggest Next in Line (NIL) signees have sparked controversy on their way out the door of the NCAA.
The Cavinder twins, Haley and Hanna Cavinder signed their NIL deal with WWE in December 2021 and they are two of the most popular women in college basketball, with more than 4.4 million followers on TikTok. However, they grabbed the headlines for their actions.
The Twins inked a deal with the controversial artificial intelligence-powered, text-generating tech company Caktus AI this week, according to Fox News. They shared their first post advertising the AI text generator on Monday.
Caktus AI has been a debatable topic in the academic world due to its bold advertising imploring students to use the bot as a way to avoid writing assignments. Founded by former Notre Dame football player Harrison Leonard, the company promotes itself as being a tool "to automate all of your school work" and a way for students to spend less time on what it calls "meaningless writing assignments."
Caktus AI has also recruited major NCAA stars like Louisiana State University gymnast and social media influencer Olivia Dunne, which led her university to issue a statement warning students that using the company's services could lead to academic penalties.
After influencer and LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne signed a deal with Caktus AI, LSU issued a statement warning that using the text generation software could lead to academic suspension.
The statement from LSU reads as follows:
“At LSU, our professors and students are empowered to use technology for learning and pursuing the highest standards of academic integrity."
“However, using AI to produce work that a student then represents as one’s own could result in a charge of academic misconduct, as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.”
The twins reportedly have around $800,000 total in promotional deals, according to ESPN and it landed them in hot water due to alleged recruiting violations surrounding their transfer to the University of Miami last year.
