‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

Great article.

How do we teach that when a student doesn’t want to learn?

Good question. But maybe we've gone overboard with the density of information and we just need to relax a little and give the kids their childhood back.

I'm all for letting children be children, but this article is about college students who are, generally speaking, supposed to be adults.

I'm just wondering who and how to contact the dilf in the photo

This method is now increasingly known (there’s even an episode of “The Simpsons” about it) and likely has already run its course as a plausible method for saving oneself from reading and grading AI slop. To be brief, I inserted hidden text into an assignment’s directions that the students couldn’t see but that ChatGPT can.

I received several emails and spoke with a few students who came to my office and were genuinely apologetic. I had a few that tried to fight me on the accusations, too, assuming I flagged them as AI for “well written sentences”. But the Trojan horse did not lie.

lmfao, I hope he failed those kids anyways.

Okay fine and all, but are we not going to talk about the cat?

[–] interdimensional_sharts@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

We can talk about it if you’d like

Whatever happened to the tests which you have to sit and do to prove you know the thing you’re writing about?

Had trouble with this myself teaching. Students this semester have been good about it (probably because I've been very explicit in my contempt and also it kept blundering) but last semester was tricky.

One thing I learned was I need to also insist no Grammarly. That used to be allowed but it makes original writing sound very AI. I also riddled my assignments with short oral segments and personal stories.

It cuts into class time but I've managed to make those sessions educational since my "presentations" are always conversations w/ students. No ppts. Actually kinda fun and very much weeds out cheaters lol
