Students AI menace

Students will be creating millions of papers with AI to easen their burden

Students have submitted more than 22 million papers that may have used generative AI in the past year, new data released by plagiarism detection company Turnitin shows. A year ago, Turnitin rolled out an AI writing detection tool that was trained on its trove of papers written by students as well as other AI-generated texts. Since then, more than 200 million papers have been reviewed by the detector, predominantly written by high school and college students. Turnitin found that 11 percent may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed getting flagged for having 80 percent or more AI writing. Turnitin says its detector has a false positive rate of less than 1 percent when analyzing full documents.

              I agree. The veterinarian medicine is the most cutting edge of them all. They actually want to cure their patients, and will euthanize the doomed ones to ease their suffering. Human medicine is bullshit in comparison. Imagine being a doctor without ever getting your hands dirty.

    If your essay assignment can be satisfactorily passed using only an LLM, you need to create new assignments. Making people write the same braindead shit year after year isn’t teaching them shit outside of rote memorisation.

      How do you give them new assignments? The only way to be original is to write doctorate thesis on something not explored before, and undergrads don't do that, they literally only remember basic trivia about irrelevant shit until they get master's degree.

        The point of the assignment is to both test the student and to teach them. Maybe do something other than writing long papers on nonsense. Your options are literally everything else in all of human history to pick from.

        How is it logistically impossible? Most of my exams were oral. I had around 40 classmates. You had at least 3 terms, so not everyone took the exam at the same time. There were usually 5 of us being examed at once. Each group took around an hour to fully question.
        It's better to have a few good papers than lots of shitty ones. I had to defend my thesis on foot, without the Power Point. I could have defended every paper I wrote beforehand. No biggie. Just don't admit more than 200 students a year and the staff won't be overworked.

        Oral exams removes the anonymity of the student, which I would hate in today's climate.

        White guys would all fail, and brownies would all pass with flying colors. We all remember that thing that became a meme a few years back about the Ivy league 'debate team' which was all Sheniquas who could barely string a sentence together and 'won' the who debate tournament. It would be like that on steroids.

        The only real solution is in-person written exams and it is based purely on ID numbers which aren't traceable back to the student.

          What anonymity? You still have to sign your written exam. The professor still reads the test results in front of class or they're put on the notice board. Even when they just put your initials, ID number or the password, it's easy to find out who's behind them.

            here even highschool exams are mixed, I had to go to like 7 random schools to finish highschool all because exams take place at arbitrary locations with arbitrary arbiters who usually aren't people who the student knows, also in same way, these exam papers get tested by arbitrary people and not from your own highschool, in university it's probably even more complicated than that
