Two professors who say they caught students cheating on essays with ChatGPT explain why AI plagiarism can be hard to prove
Hick said he grew suspicious when the student turned in an on-topic essay that included some well-written misinformation., the results said it was 99% likely the essay had been AI-generated.
Both Hick and Aumann said they confronted their students, all of whom eventually confessed to the infraction. Hick's student failed the class and Aumann had his students rewrite the essays from scratch.There were certain red flags in the essays that alerted the professors to the use of AI. Hick said the essay he found referenced several facts not mentioned in class, and made one nonsensical claim.
"All of a sudden you have someone who does not demonstrate the ability to think or write at that level, writing something that follows all the requirements perfectly with sophisticated grammar and complicated thoughts that are directly related to the prompt for the essay," he said. In Hick's case, although the detection site said it was"99% certain" the essay had been generated by an AI, he said it wasn't enough for him without a confession.
