OpenAI - Chatgpt

[Smarti5051]

The AI essay writing software is pretty scary (as a parent of teenage children). Usually, the only "tell" from the AI produced material is that it is too well organized and supported by evidence to pass as a high school student's own work product. And, it is remarkably simple to generate. Within 10 minutes, an 8th grader can generate "A" level written reports on about 20 high school/college level novels (whether they be classics or obscure), each capable of passing plagiarism software.

I suppose the academic solution will be to start recording a student's written material from grade school to high school, then have each new submission run through an AI program to see if the sentence structure and word choice is consistent with the student's prior writing. In essence, use AI to detect AI. But, in the short term, it is very difficult to ascertain the cheaters, and quite the handicap for those that don't want to cheat.
