    My wife is a teacher, she has shown me vibed handed in assignments abd its incredibly obvious.

    Right off the bat, if she gives an assignment to make, say, a slideshow on “Topic” and they talk about a examples A, B, and C in class, and the assignment goes off on tangents about topics F, G, and H instead, it’s an instant red flag.

    This happens cuz the student just copy paste the assignment blurb into gpt, but gpt has no context for what was discussed in class… so it goes off the rails instantly.

    Its also easy to include poison pills in the middle of an assignment if they copy paste it straight into gpt.

    Also theres all the usual markers. Emoji, em dash, and the assignment having way higher verbosity than you know damn well the kid has the vocabulary for. Suddenly they’re speaking at a grade 7~8 levels higher than usual? Uh huh. .

    From her and her teacher friends, Ive been told its extremely obvious to spot still. And its pretty trivial to setup the assignment to poison pill the AI.

      What if the kid lies and says they didn’t use AI? How successful have they been in convincing admin and parents of their ai usage? While I agree its all damning, its still circumstantial evidence.

        Back in the day just one instance of plagerism was very serious. If you got caught doing it more than once you could get expelled.

        Now apparently everyone is using the plagerism machine including the professors. So much for academic integrity.

          and then professors using AI to sniff out your AI. resumes are being done by AI, and employers are also using AI TOO. Also research papers are apparently done with AI too, some how sneaking into journals.

          I had a sustainability class where the professor used AI to write the course syllabus, assignments, and feedback. a fucking sustainability class.

          I contacted the office of the president about it at my university but nothing ever happened of it. academia in general has gone off the rails with AI recently. I used to assume those with doctorates we’re bright enough to avoid AI but evidently that’s not the case.

            professors are often to busy with thier labs or research, so they relegate thier writing/teaching to AI. before it was only done with power-points that barely gave substance to a lectures those were the bad teachers when they just read off or give little context to the powerpoint slides, comes time for a midterm, students were like wtf was she teaching in those lectures.

        She just failed the assignment, because it didnt actually meet the requirements lol

        Thats the thing, if you simply design your assignment well, AI will just… fail at it, and you dont have to prove they used AI, they simply just didnt pass.
