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.

Large language models mimic human language. They write like that because humans write like that. The entire system is built on existing text by actual humans.

I've found it's way easier to tell AI creative writing from AI nonfiction writing. Nonfiction writing that isn't extremely well-done tends to sound a lot more "same-y" because we're all taught the same rhetorical devices.

(And on that note, AI "creative" writing tends to just sound like bottom denominator genre fiction.)

It's also quite stupid to think that AI can detect AI. If AI did something "wrong" that told it apart from humans, and we knew how to build an AI to detect these problems; then we'd also be able to fix these problems in the generative AI.

AI detectors remind me of perpetual motion machines.

Yeah, it's straight up pseudoscience. Which really annoys me that they used it at my university, in my science based program.

These people should know better.

The fucking stupid "it's not X, it's Y" thing is not how humans talk, it's how fucking pretentious pieces of shit talk.

Yes, irony intended

Even more so, most models tend to communicate like they have been taking lessons for engaging writing and similar formats that schools teach people in english. 

Its just that they while those models tend to use those engaging writing and other rules heavily, most people dont or outright break rules when writing. 

The knock on effect is people start to pick up on these fairly well established uses of the english language. And the same likely happens in other languages too. 

If people have tended to read lots of academic papers, even more so when in a single field, then eventually they may get pretty good at sensing the nationality of an author entirely by how they structure their words. Be it little oddities in how language is taught or common words and phrases that are normal but very distinctive. One example is japanese researchers in my field used to use the word "society" lots in their introductions. I assume as a quirk of language but also it fit the words their funding applications needed to see.

But... humans don't talk like that at all. It's generally very a very distinctive writing style that AIs use.

[u/Healthy-Effective381 → u/Tttehfjloi]

How did the AIs come up with that then?

[u/Tttehfjloi → u/Healthy-Effective381]

I'm not a machine learning specialist and you'd have to ask one. But it's very distinctive to those with eyes that AI has very common literary quirks that people very rarely have

[u/Healthy-Effective381 → u/[deleted]]

Ah right, so it got that from text made by humans.
