My university uses AI detectors when marking papers, and almost any result higher than 0% can cause lost grades. As anyone whose used one of these tools will know, they have an extremely high false positive rate, meaning that while I don’t use AI (and can’t, given the technical nature of the papers) I still lose marks. Is there any way to decrease the rate of false positives without completely destroying the structure and flow of a paper?
i wonder if it eventually comes to having to resort to legal action because of this. Those detectors are unreliable yet you can be penalized based on what they spew. And lost grades is lasting consequence.
Meanwhile the same schools that punish students for using AI (even when they didn’t) are then hiring speakers to cram the “AI is the future, get used to it or get left behind” message down students throats.
its actually quite weird how strongly the ai is being pushed everywhere. Though I guess it just proves how deep the rot goes.
