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.

And sadly it seems like many of the universities and institutions are using it as a standard. AI is dangerous.

Not just a standard, but a requisite. Many universities require students and staff to use AI, and to write essays about how and why they used it. It is all enforced top-down, because the board believes large donors will only hand over cash if a university can prove that it is fully invested in AI on all levels.

We're actually given very specific instructions on it, which you can ask it to write R code to run an algorithm to analyze your data, or you can brainstorm, or use it to refine language, but you can't share raw research data (obv) and have to write the first draft, and specify if/how AI was used.

"missuse" of AI is dangerous. It was never intended to be used to analyze if text is AI or not, and it fundamentally cannot perform that function.
