AI Detection services are the oiliest of snake oils. Seems like education is going to need to change drastically in the next few years. Maybe we'll go all the way back to oral examinations again.

I doubt oral examinations come back in general. The undergrad model relys on massive classes, I don’t see how you can do oral exams in those 300 person classes without massive cheating as the first students tell everyone else what to expect.

Has anyone field-tested strategies to fighting allegations like this and would like to share them?

Something I remember from a previous discussion around this topic was writing everything in e.g., Google Docs, where there are captured versions every few seconds. The idea being that the version log shows that one did not copy-and-paste larger chunks of the text.

Use ChatGPT to write and administer 300 personalized oral exams.

I would sue the teacher and school if this happened to me… total BS.

Also plagarism and having other people do your work, or even take exams for you is as old as time. How is AI any different? Some trust is in order here. The students are the ones paying to be educated, if they cheat they are only cheating themselves anyways.

I am an Eagle Scout and was awarded it in 1995. As part of that process, I had to write up a detailed document outlining my project including how it was conceived, the work, and the outcome.

It was rejected on my initial submission because the reviewers felt I it wasn’t written by a sophomore in HS.

My parents rewrote the entire thing in what they described as “baby talk” and it was then accepted. The irony is not lost on me to this day.

This is nothing new; it’s been happening forever and will continue to happen, we just have a new reason to drive a race to the bottom.

I hate the world we live in.
