#2The best way, so far, to prove that it's not written by ChatGPT is to show history using Google Docs. It's probably going to be the new "show your work" that math teachers went through during the rise of calculators.

AI should be easily able to generate that.

This is really smart. Although I imagine if it was very widely used, someone would come up with a way for AI to generate a fake history

#5This whole thing is moot because precisely those subjects in which AI is most applicable are the ones whose graduates will most likely have their jobs taken away by AI anyway.
Like, at least let AI earn you the grades while you're in school, if it's going to put you out of a job once you're out, ya know?

It is easily circumvented by typing out the AI response rather than just copy and pasting

Time not spent teaching, researching, or running a university. Sigh.

If you're writing something from scratch, though, you'd expect numerous revisions/deletions over time instead of just writing it from top to bottom in one shot. Rearranging sentences, changing phrasing, starting with the body of the work and coming back to write the intro later with lots of [insert thesis statement here] placeholders.

#10Wow, this is so different from my own experience (university professor here).
I made using generative AI a requirement in my classes. It led to some inventive work, though most students are still figuring it out. I didn't make it central to the class, but will in the future.
That being said, I don't assign an essay-type assignments but even if I did, I wouldn't use an AI checker like those mentioned in the article.
At the start of the semester in January, I was shocked at how few students had actively used any AI tools (maybe 10%). At the end of the semester in May, I was shocked at how few of my colleagues had (25%).
