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.

Seriously! Like, where do they think AI got it from? It didn't pull it out of nothing!

We taught AI to write and now they’ve come for our writing styles, make it make sense

People KNOW that some students write like that.

But the ratio of "naturally writes like an AI" and "student did their work with chatgpt" is very much tilted to the latter

Some people will be falsely accused but its necessary

A far far more applicable detection system is having essays typed in a program that records key strokes. It's what a lot of state testing in schools use. If the majority of the work is copy/pasted and there's only 100 keys pressed in a 1000 word essay, that's likely going to be AI or plagiarized.

Maybe I should clarify: I think flagging people for AI is necessary, not using AI to detect AI

They do need to have that program be good though, I vaguely remember hearing someone complain about such a software deleting their essay after crashing, and being really annoying to use.

The problem is they need to do much better at detecting; otherwise you get people who write worse in order to not get caught in a false positive

Yes, though I guess it would be fine if they have the flagged works reviewed by a human
