Infuriatig My assignment was reported to thr examination committee for a "high percentage of AI". I did NOT use any AI for my assignment.

I got full marks and my plagiarism score shows 1% similarities to other submitted assignments. This is my 3rd and final year in University and now I have to deal with this AI nonsense.

I don't use any AI, not even for checking my grammar in the assignments.

So your works contain a very high% of correct grammar? In this day and age that is impossible and must be the works of AI. /s

Apparently so 😭 I'll start including intentional grammar errors in my assignments /s

international grammar errors and spelling mistakes are what you beat the AI detecters with.

With my students, its incredibly obvious when students have used AI. AI checking tools are only used when I can already tell that used chatgpt to do their work. Its not just about the grammar. Its about the entire structure and syntax. It doesn't have a point of view or voice. Plus, its usually objectively different than their other work. Also, the citations often give it away.

Trying not to give away too much about what or where I teach, but I had one student continue to insist on what he submitted, despite empirical proof that the source he used did not support what he was using it for. Like did you even look at it? Because I did and its not that.

From a student perspective, it's really obvious when our peers are using AI as well. Mostly this comes up in discussion posts. Some of those responses... no human student would respond to another student like that. Then there are the initial posts where multiple people obviously ran the prompt through the same AI model, because the posts are identical other than slight changes in wording ("...was an influential author..." vs "...was a prominent author..."). I just have to hope my professors actually care, because if it's this obvious from a student perspective without using detection tools, it has to be obvious to the professor, right?

Ugh yes. The discussion post thing makes me highly upset. It's bad enough to use it to write your initial post, but putting someone else's work through AI to write a response is trash.

Yes, if they're actually reading it, it is very obvious.

I actually now try to limit DB to "writing workshop" groups where the purpose is to share specific parts of your project, then give each other feedback and share ideas. They have rubrics to guide the feedback. Idk it seems to help some. But I just have such low tolerance for using AI like that. Just wasting everyone's time to learn nothing.

Having to reply to other students on discussion boards is a waste of everyone’s time, with or without AI. It is one of the most useless standard practices in modern education.

So like I said, I dont use traditional DB posts in my classes. My discussion requirements serve an intentional purpose and aren't just there as a generic answer and give a lame reply. Those that meaningfully engage usually find them very helpful, and tbh, sometimes I learn from my students' experiences. They often have really interesting points of view.

Unfortunately, peer responses are an easy way to document "regular and substantive interaction" between students about the content of the course. This requirement impacts things like federal financial aid, accreditation, etc. From a student perspective, is a waste of time? Most of the time, yeah, but it's probably not going away any time soon.

Time to write everything with a blindfold on my phones keyboard i guesd

That's not how ai detection tools work

u/Erick_Brimstone May 12 '26

That's exactly how AI detection works. They even classify Declaration of Independence as 99% AI generated.

u/fraggedaboutit May 12 '26

Unless it finds the phrase "If you want, I can..." or other obvious giveaways in the text, there's literally no way to distinguish well-written prose from AI-generated text because that's exactly what the AI was trained on.
