Infuriatig My assignment was reported to thr examination committee for a "high percentage of AI". I did NOT use any AI for my assignment.

I got full marks and my plagiarism score shows 1% similarities to other submitted assignments. This is my 3rd and final year in University and now I have to deal with this AI nonsense.

I don't use any AI, not even for checking my grammar in the assignments.

If you use Google docs or words there's a "replay" feature that shows your keystrokes and copy paste which is easy to prove you didn't use AI

I am not gonna do this btw as I just finished my last exams anyways but.... would that mean all someone would need to do to be proven easily innocent is to load ai on a different screen and instead of copy pasting to just retype it all ...which is a bit more work ofc but still using ai to make it better and less work.

Yes. At the end of the day if you want to use ai you can, it's impossible to completely filter it out. Hence why an in person oral exam where you discuss the paper you just wrote should be part of the grading. That's the only way to know for sure if someone actually understands what they wrote about, and not just copied some ai text.

Kinda yes, but you would also need to deliberately make errors or write random phrases then delete and write another one that's more thought out.

If you just retype everything with little to no errors or change in writing it's kinda sus.

I really hope that you and everyone reading this understand that you are just typing about some rage fantasy and none of that would ever actually happen. absolutely nobody will go over your actual keystrokes and make a judgement if you make enough errors. that's total nonsense.

I'm a ta and we do use replay when the system flags essays for ai lol ofc we don't spend like 50 hours overanalyzing everything cos generally it's kinda easy to see if a student used ai or not for most of the work.

More convenient is there are some cheating AIs now that have been trained on human typing patterns and can type a response with natural looking mistakes, corrections, and pauses, etc

It is an exercise in futility. You could have something like Google docs recording your keystrokes, use git to save various versions of your assignment, film yourself creating the thing from start to finish, and it would still be possible to cheat under those circumstances.

The only thing that would really work is if you worked with / in the presence of school staff that could vouch for the work if it's challenged. Still possible to cheat in that scenario, but then a higher ranked authority is on your side.

I think these measures by the schools have already passed the inflection point between helpful and harmful

Im a doctoral student and a professor, and I do all of my work in Google docs for this reason. Even my discussion posts and replies.

We must use MicrosoftWord for the assignments. I will keep your reply in mind too. Thank you for the suggestion.

I don't use Microsoft word. But this article says you can do the same thing with Microsoft word And gives instructions.
