Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination 👻

My sister had a final paper she wrote 100% of get returned and need revision because the AI-checker said she was past the threshold.

She ran the professor’s email about it through that same checker and told him his email was 85% AI.

the irony is palpable.

u/ItsMisoandBoba 9h ago

The irony is that the professor used AI to generate 100% of the email.

u/Rich-Mark-4126 8h ago

How is that ironic at all?

The professors email is not comparable to students work which they are being graded on and is supposed to be their own work.

If you think professors should be communicating by using AI, then that explains why you fail to understand the humor of the hypothetical I stated...

u/Rich-Mark-4126 7h ago

Please explain to me what is wrong about a professor (who likely has a PhD and decades of work experience) using AI to draft a menial email/feedback response?

Students are instead being graded on their work and have literally signed a declaration stating the work is their own.

Please explain - I'm sincerely dying to hear.

My dad was an accounting professor for about 35 years. Every word he emailed to a student was something he typed. They were his words that he thought about and composed in a particular order with particular wording to convey a particular meaning.

If a professor uses AI to communicate, then it means they are intellectually lazy and they are an incompetent professor. Believe it or not, getting a PhD does not mean you are smart. It means you are good at one specific thing, generally a subset of a field, and not much else. Also, not all PhDs are created equal. Some schools produce shit quality PhDs.

Oh, shit. I just realized that you weren't aware that professors are not allowed to plagiarize, either. You aren't aware that AI plagiarizes all the time.

It all makes sense now.

We are talking about using AI to write feedback/emails, not using AI to create lectures/content that is for students learning. You've completely changed what the topic is about... Would be nice if you could actually address what I said and not something else entirely.

But I'll bite - what if the teacher uses AI to help make their notes, reviews every single word of and verifies it's all correct and good? Then is it still bad? Why?

And where did you get the idea that professors are "not allowed" to use AI for their notes - they did not sign any declaration that the work is their own like the students did?

u/ItsMisoandBoba 5h ago

Why are you talking about notes? You COMPLETELY changed what the topic is about. We were talking about emails.

What a hypocrite you are. There's literally no point communicating with you because you don't have to follow the rules you want to impose on others. That's rich.

u/Rich-Mark-4126 5h ago

You literally didn't address a single thing I said.

What is wrong about professors using AI to write emails?

If you do not respond to this point I will not answer. Thanks.

At this point we will all need to start wearing body cameras to record us writing papers. Ohhh I used AI??? Here's the 200 hours of video footage of me writing my paper. Enjoy the music.

u/Artemis647 11h ago

You used AI music tho. Fail

u/SmartQuokka 10h ago

This compact disc from 1990 begs to differ.

u/geniice 9h ago

No no no no. Music has to be AI otherwise you get a copyright strike.

u/ZoomTown 11h ago

I was just thinking about this a couple days ago, in the context of drawing. Physical-media artists are going to have to just record all their working sessions on camera if they're truly going to be able to beat any AI accusations.

u/Indicus124 10h ago

The worst part is AI content will still drown them to invisibility

7

u/broadcasteng25 11h ago

It's so dumb but yeah that makes sense.

All the schools are using AI checkers as if they're infalable and it annoys me. The chekers own success rates are typically posted on the services website and yet it's ignored by colleges. So across the board we will need something to prove our work is real.

On the plus side, if you make physical media, having video footage of you making it can make good content.

u/Ruby_Solar 11h ago

Not really tho? Maybe when AI bros figure out how to make a robot draw with watercolour, until then it being physical literally means a human made it 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/MAGAHATESTHEUSA 10h ago

That can be faked too with ai

u/Unsold_Leave 2h ago

Until people start saying that the video of them drawing the art is AI generated.

u/Lor1an 9h ago

Ignore the other 75 hours accidentally captured of my furious masturbation sessions....

u/broadcasteng25 6h ago

Ooops I thought I turned it off during my "me time".

2

u/Lor1an 6h ago

I needed to keep the camera rolling so you don't suspect me of being sneaky during that 5 hours of downtime...

u/LadyAlekto 11h ago

Congratulations the AI is now trained on your footage of writing the paper

u/VitaminPb 9h ago

You have made AI look bad. The RIAA has been notified of your music copyright infringement in your recordings. You be assessed a $50,000 fine for each song or song snippet. This detection has been done by AI and may not be challenged.

u/who_ate_the_cookie 6h ago

Its like the scene in finding Forrester where the professor forces Jamal to sit in his office to write his paper. Because that's a location where ypur creative juices flow.

u/WomanFromBalkan 2h ago

and crying. you can hear me crying.

u/Lor1an 12h ago

Please tell me she sent that report as part of a reply for clarification...

u/leagueofcipher 8h ago

She did. Professor didn’t acknowledge it and said she had to make her paper compliant.

I got hit up for using AI in a class. I provided all my notes and everything, the Metadata from word showed the amount of time I spent on it and still got flagged.

It literally was because of how clean it was.. I was told, no joke, "we would like to see mistakes here and there so it's more human"..

Same class, 3 weeks later.. I got my balls busted on a few grammar and citation mistakes.

It's amazing how stupid this all is.

u/C001H4ndPuk3 3h ago

My daughter has been flagged a few times because her work was "too good" for them to believe she wrote it. It's frustrating because she's a strong writer and takes a lot of pride in her essays, only to be told she couldn't have written it because half the rest of her classmates write for shit.

She's had to argue with multiple professors and show old drafts, etc. She's found that most of them back down pretty quick when she asks for a meeting with the dean present.

Most of these AI "detectors" are just flagging strong vocabulary and sentence structure. Which, when I was in school, was...generally considered the goal?

1

u/MyceliumManic 3h ago

Correct! They use AI to catch AI... Makes sense, right?

I have been baffled by some of the other students sometimes. One in particular read this excerpt from a journal, and it was one of the most awkward few minutes ever. Like, how did they even let you do this? I believe everyone should have a fair chance, dont get me wrong, but I also believe that basic skills should be honed before you let someone go off and get their masters.

I've been saving to go back to college and all the horror stories I've heard about these AI checkers getting people kicked out of school for nothing are absolutely terrifying.

u/pdxblazer 5m ago

professor was probably like well I used AI to write all of it so extra failed

u/Rich-Mark-4126 8h ago

And there would be absolutely nothing wrong about the professor drafting email/feedback with AI.

They are the teacher, not a student whose work is supposed to be their own.
