This is dumb as fuck.

The said "teacher" should know that ChatGPT will give lots of false positives.




Lots of hallucinations. ChatGPT will hallucinate that it wrote pieces of text. Even GPTZero will detect the constitution as AI generated


Apparently ChatGPT claims it wrote the teacher's message too.


Said teacher is one person in a large crowd of people that are now using ChatGPT as a modern-day quiver of divining arrows.

I am not hopeful for the future if people are so ready to give up their own thinking to machines, who may develop emergent motives.


Is said teacher "giving up their own thinking" or just lazy/desperate?

Based on a reddit comment from the post: "It was allegedly 3 different essays about agricultural science occurring in the last few months of classes. The professor elected not to grade them until today, (graduation was yesterday) so now the university is withholding an entire class’s diplomas after they walked the stage."

So this teacher is both a) blind as to the capabilities of ChatGPT and b) didn't do his work until it was almost too late.

If he had used some non-BS method of "detecting" plagiarism and applied it evenly through out the course, that's something else. Nope.


Also a symptom of a broken society, isn't it?

It's crazy all the "increase your productivity by 10 with GPT" tutorials on the web


We are definitely about the enter the 'find out' phase within the next 8 years
