If a professor fails you because they thought your final essay was written by an AI and it wasn't, do you have legal grounds to start a lawsuit against the school?

#12IMO one of the way that most schools are going to end up being able to detect plagiarism is going to be a custom word processor (or something similar) that can track all of the edits made into a document. Basically, have the students type an essay where all of the keystrokes are recorded by the program, and so it can be detected by the program whether someone is copy and pasting whole essays, or if someone is actually typing and revising the essay until it is submitted. Essays that are just turned in in general are probably going to be a thing of the past.

#13Ironic that I had to pass Cloudflare "Are you human" verification.
Yes, that is true. ChatGPT refuses to work with VPN and regularly checks for your IP using Cloudflare. Most of these new AI-driven startups are using Cloudflare. It is funny that startups collect/scrap data from all over the web but don't want to scrap their chatbot response without paid API. I guess it is life...

#14Has anyone tried using an LLM as an LLM detector yet?
That is the implementation that many of these approaches are doing.
It is a very, very hard problem.

It works…ish. GPT4 is pretty good at detecting what it wrote but I was able to get a false positive with the United States constitution. Or maybe we can go deeper and say maybe it was AI generated?

This is a fantastic idea

#17oooh I like that, the student can sue for copyright infringement because the teacher uploaded their work and proved that they uploaded it? sounds like a simple sublicensing clause imposed on the student will fix that, but the next few semesters a few examples can be made of the teachers and institutions will pay off that tuition
Probably not; schools have been using Turnitin for a while, and presumably had students sign waivers

You would need to ensure that Chrome extensions and keyboards with macros were disabled somehow

Open chat gpt on your phone, ask it to write your essay, then retype its response manually

That's was litigated years ago, for TurnItIn.[1] Uploading student papers for plagiarism checking purposes was considered fair use by a US federal court.
