@drrachelbarr: AI detection tools are limited by the very mechanism that defines LLM text. They do not belong in academia. #neuroscience #science #chatgpt #student
The em dash is not on the keyboard. Period. Unless you know enough to use alt codes, no human can access the em dash on a keyboard. That red flag of seeing an em dash in a report, and saying ai wrote it is extremely valid.

Teachers should just switch to the Socratic method and/or have students orally explain their research/papers and how they reached their conclusions

Ai programs archive 700+ sat score in maths. that's very high, and to say ai isbad education is missing the point.
what ai reveals to us that education of copy pasting data is useless as ai does it better. what education should be about is philosophy and critical thinking to use this tool to its fullest potential to combat false positives.

as a catalan native speaker doing a PhD, some of my papers got rejected by the plagiarism detector in part because of the fact that we are not english native speakers and sometimes we don't have that much of lexical or syntactic richness in front of a native speaker

Cassiopeia(Autistic Version)🍉 :
As an autistic, I feel that "AI text" is sometimes really similar to my style. Not saying all autistic have the same flaws, but what feels like a "natural flow" to me often looks deconstructed (and somewhat underdeveloped or too much) by allistic folks... It shows how much we still don't know how to truly differentiate between ai vs human (especially due to diversity within humans)

I completely agree, one false positive is too many. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

It’s a tool. Just like a calculator. We need better ways to test intelligence than the regurgitation of information. Rather than banning a tool.

I would think highly stylized writers would also be at risk

Question: you said a few videos ago that “we can tell it’s ai slop” and now you’re saying educators can’t tell? Which is it, or has it changed?

I wrote a 750 word short story "from scratch" and had my Cabinet staff run it through an AI detector. It said it was over 50% riddled with AI. 😅 I'm sorry my vocabulary is expansive?!?

I was accused of using AI because my writing was “too professional”. I’m studying postgraduate medicine, I have 3 other degrees, and 2 decades of work experience. So… I should hope I’d be good at writing this stuff by now?! It’s very frustrating as someone who’s always put a lot of effort into producing high quality writing, and - hopefully! - ideas

The irony of the institution using AI tools to catch students from using AI tools is very late stage capitalism.

I hate that the “big indicator” is just when students write coherently.

One false positive in the criminal justice system is also. arguably, too many

As a writer, I have an irrational hatred for the Em Dash that predates LLM's.

I like stylizing my text with bold, italic, bullet points, em dashes, quotes. Yet still get accused of copying from ChatGPT.

There are now AI tools specifically for making your text pass AI detectors. So Ai detectors are ironically promoting increased Ai usage by pushing honest students to use Ai in order to avoid wrongfully being accused of using Ai.

Literally one video above this one a college student was talking about how he got a 0% on a paper because he used an Em Dash.. his professor accused him of using AI even though he didn’t lol

I wrote a 10 page research paper before AI was really around. Out of curiosity I put it through AI detection a couple years later and it told me the paper was written by AI. This makes me nervous as a current adult college student!

Back before AI, I had students who wrote just as terribly as LLMs.

Plagiarism is easy to detect. Force kids to write their essays in Word using tracked changes. From start to end. The final version should show an empty document being filled and every edit along the way. No AI can do this. And will never be able to do this.

The sad thing is the professors are guilty of the same laziness as the students because if they just read everything the students produced it would be clear what is garbage and what is not

Yes, that’s because it’s normal, everyone uses it, you can’t use AI to determine it was AI or Not. ( ppl said the same thing for Computers and Calculators) It’s not the end of the world.

It seems as though AI slop text is noticeably over-polished, like a movie that has cuts every 3 seconds or saturated lighting.
