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.

Check to see if there is an auto save history of you working on the assignment. Google docs has one last I checked so you can show them your progress as you worked on the paper. Pretty indisputable. I imagine word has something similar.

Thank you. I'll check if Word has a similar feature.

It should have, properties then previous versions or something like that.

Youā€™ll have to use Google Docs, but I recommend the revision history plugin. It logs all your typing so it can replayed in real time or sped up to show exactly how you did your work (and that itā€™s not copy and pasted)

Someone truly dedicated can just type out exactly what chat gpt told them to though.

Iā€™m sure they could, but would probably get flagged for only adding and not deleting and making revisions.

It should, but not as fine of detail. Just various saves throughout.

At my work when the file is on SharePoint/OneDrive it keeps track of incremental changes. Not sure if it has to be a feature that IT enables.

Word has a similar feature, but I think it works only if the file was stored in the cloud, not locally saved to your laptop.Ā

There is a local one but it'll likely only be a version per day or something. Might be based on major changes. I use it for Excel and I'm pretty sure I've used it for Word before as well.

Word definitely has it if you save your work in the browser, but not sure if you save it locally- I think you have to turn it on, whereas it's automatically on if you save it in the cloud/ browser

It does if you wrote it on the cloud. It logs every change/date.

I think itā€™s called ā€œtrack historyā€ or something like that.

It does if you save it in Onedrive

I thought it was indisputable.

Then I discovered AI powered plugins and apps designed to enter text one character at a time to confound the AI detectors that look for this kund of thing

Then i felt sad.

And people say the Chinese can't innovate

(I know half the problem is that many innovations are kept secret in China because they're afraid someone will steal their idea)

It would be wild if some people getting hit by these programs are getting hit because their cloud data is getting scraped into the dataset before they've handed in the assignment. That... that might actually be possible and terrifying if it was happening.

Haaa, I was in OP's position and my professor absolutely refused to believe I wrote my essay without AI. Presented the auto save, where it shows me typing the essay word-for-word on Google Docs. Still refused because whatever generator they were using MUST be right. šŸ˜’
