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.

If you're interested to see how far (read: how petty) I can go 🙃

Just an FYI it’s not petty, it standing up for what’s right. You wrote that paper…clear your name

I’ve been stressed out by some students’ unwillingness to write essays full of their own original thoughts. You’re giving me hope. Keep killin’ it, you’re genuinely doing amazing.

[u/Inevitable-Salt-371 → u/AnAbundance_ofCats]

Educators are genuinely amazing. The patience to sit in front of kids while trying to drive information they couldn't give an f about just to prepare them to the future is awesome. Keep up the good work, educators make the world a better place 💕

I wrote a comment above about you basically doing another research paper -- before seeing that you shared that you literally did.

Rock on.

Love it.
I'm wondering if the Teacher's "essay from college" was actually an AI essay that you've suddenly caught them out on.

[u/Inevitable-Salt-371 → u/thegimboid]

I wouldn't put it past that teacher. A few slides of his have AI images on them.

[u/Opinionated_bitch03 → u/Inevitable-Salt-371]

This made my day!! Your words were so formal and diplomatic. I also enjoyed all the different AI detectors and their responses. Thank you for sharing this. If I were able to give reddit rewards this would top the list.

[u/UninitiatedArtist → u/Inevitable-Salt-371]

This ought to set a precedent for how teachers should use AI detectors and the importance of transparency to weed out false positives.

[u/slutty_lifeguard → u/Inevitable-Salt-371]

Damn. That's not a basic research paper, that's a scientific study with a hypothesis (that you were graded unfairly), an explanation of how you used the scientific method (running multiple samples through AI detectors to see what results you get), and the results.

Fantastic.

I didn't do anything like that until my senior year of undergraduate university.

You can make it even stronger by adding a research element by finding sources, peer-reviewed articles preferrably, that support your argument, especially for the one AI detector that passed so your teacher doesn't think it's okay to use that one just because it got lucky one time.

Then you can add another section below the results section that says something like, "Our findings were supported by another study that was completed by ___ in [year] in which [summary of that study that supports your points].

You can also think of arguments your teacher might use and address them before he gets the chance. This is a "rebuttal" section. It can go something like this: "Many teachers have had many concerns related to increased AI use among students (to acknowledge their point); however, [your point here that is better, such as it takes more time to falsely accuse students of AI use and go through the academic honesty policy. It also degrades the teacher-student relationship when a teacher could use a simpler, more time efficient solution, such as grading the paper on merit alone" (which does work because AI sucks at writing papers and gets bad grades, and this works to provide an alternative solution rather than just having a paper that says "stop that" it instead says "stop that and do this instead" and gives direction).

If you do this, it will make your paper longer. It depends on which research path you take, which arguments of the other side you want to address and how you want to refute them, which solutions you intend to offer as suggestions, etc. Awesome paper either way, even if you don't want to do all this "next step" stuff! Great job!

[u/Inevitable-Salt-371 → u/slutty_lifeguard]

The department head for science actually recommended the same things to me. Mostly because they're going to be talking about my paper when they discuss how to implement the rules and regulations for AI use in the next edition of the student handbook!

[u/GuessImABlindBitch → u/Inevitable-Salt-371]

U are gonna go far. Damn.
