For this assignment, lol. The future is bleak.

That specification is what turned me from "what's the specific evidence that that 'sticker' is AI?" to "fucking AI slop".

Why? "[thing] is not allowed in [situation]" isn't nonsensical, it reads like text the teacher gave to the AI to turn into a graphic. It might sometimes be allowed, it might never be allowed, it doesn't imply either. It just means "this is the rule for the current situation."

"Calculators are not allowed for this assignment." I think I heard that a million times in school. I never interpreted that as "you'll be allowed to use a calculator another time".

At the top, it reads "for this assignment AI is not allowed" then at the bottom, it says "[...] on this test, quiz, or knowledge check."

If a human made the e-sticker, they know that the messaging needs to be consistent. They'd either have not specified the type of work AI is not allowed for (so that teachers could slap that e-sticker on anything), or have both text sections specify the same work (ex. both say "assignment" or both say "test, quiz, or knowledge check"). Actually if a human made it, they probably wouldn't have included the second text section.
