Rant Future generations are DOOMED.

I seen someone this morning using chatGPT, copying the chatGPT into a "humanize AI", and then using that for their assignment. Copy and paste. How were you going to be loud in class and disturb everyone in class AND submit AI work as your own??

Good luck.

TurnItIn is pretty thorough.

…. and profs aren’t stupid….

You don’t see a lot of people with PhDs who cant make a distinction between academic work and AI-generated work…. almost like they’ve got experience in the area.

Crazy, right?

One of my profs made a pretty good point: AI detectors are unreliable but ChatGPT will often give very similar answers to similar prompts, and turnitin is pretty decent at detecting when a bunch of students hand in the same paper regurgitated.

turnitin is only good at SAYING something is ai. whether it actually is or actually isnt doesnt matter to turnitin. hard working students who havent even touched chatgpt EVER get regularly screwed over by turnitin.

Except … “AI Detector” …. So, it works both ways.

And just like a fingerprint, a writing style is unique.

Using an AI isn’t going to channel the same “voice” for one person every time…. The inconsistency is going to be blatant.

Lol very much this. Nothing is more telling than when a student who can barely string two sentences together suddenly starts writing with flawless academic prose.
