A report by strategy consultant firm Tyton Partners, sponsored by plagiarism detection platform Turnitin, found half of college students used AI tools in Fall 2023. The practice of using AI for writing feedback or grading assignments also raises ethical considerations. But teachers should then grade students’ work themselves when looking for novelty, creativity and depth of insight. “Using feedback that is not truly from me seems like it is shortchanging that relationship a little,” she said. She also sees uploading a student’s work to ChatGPT as a “huge ethical consideration” and potentially a breach of their intellectual property.

Now I make thousands of dollars editing AI-generated text so nobody could tell a machine made it. My journey into AI content editing began a little after ChatGPT came out. Interested in writing, I decided to offer AI content editing services through the freelance gig platform Fiverr. So far, I've made more than $3,500 from my AI content editing services through Fiverr. Artificial intelligence is still new, and the demand for AI content editors will only continue to grow, especially among lazy or busy people.

☆ A new AI detection tool may have solved the problem of false positives for student writing, researchers say
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-24 | by ( Kali Hays | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

The researchers tested Binoculars on large sets of data compiled of news writing, creative writing, and student essays. As generative AI tools like ChatGPT explode in popularity, concerns have grown about students using AI to complete academic work while passing it off as their own. At the same time, many students have been wrongly accused of using AI, based on results of AI detection tools. Last year, schools and universities began disabling such AI detection tools. The researchers claimed Binoculars' method corrects for the role a person prompting an AI tool plays in the output, which has been pointed to as a cause for false positives in AI detection tools.

Some have expressed concern that students might similarly rely on AI to produce work and effectively cheat - especially as AI content gets better with time. Passing off GenAI as original work could also raise copyright issues, prompting questions over whether AI should be banned in academia. It has provided that tool free to more than 10,000 education institutions globally, although it plans to charge a fee from January. So far, the AI detection tool has found that only 3% of students used AI for more than 80% of their submissions and that 78% did not use AI at all, Turnitin data shows.

☆ The GPT college classroom is almost here, but professors say AI isn't the real threat

But some educators say the real threat isn't AI, but a "lagging and outdated approach to education." Rebecca Tan, a political science lecturer at the National University of Singapore, told Insider AI detection tools can be "notoriously inaccurate." Instead of relying on AI detection tools, educators need to get innovative as AI tools become ubiquitous — through ideas like having students submit the introductions to their essays first, Tan said. AdvertisementAdvertisementJonas said the key is to embrace AI tools in the classroom and teach students how to fact-check ChatGPT's responses.

☆ How the 23-year-old founder of GPTZero turned his student anti-cheating tool into a leading startup that detects AI-generated text online

Over the course of the holiday break last year, Tian built what would become the main tool for his startup, GPTZero. They became some of the earliest adopters of GPTZero, Tian explained. "You have to imagine, this is before TurnItIn even knew what AI detection was, and OpenAI wasn't considering this at all either," Tian said. As customer and media interest grew in GPTZero, Tian realized he had built something that could be a full-fledged startup. Tian and the GPTZero team acknowledge that errors can happen with GPTZero as well, but that focusing on "human" detection can be one way around it.

OpenAI quietly removed its tool for detecting writing generated by AI, citing accuracy concerns. Fears of students using generative AI like ChatGPT to cheat have driven some schools to ban its use. Experts told Insider ChatGPT exacerbates underlying issues in education — like excessive testing and formulaic essays. OpenAI, the creator of viral chatbot ChatGPT, has quietly scuppered a tool that detects AI-generated text, citing accuracy concerns. Rebecca Tan, a lecturer at the National University of Singapore, told Insider that educators are adapting to a reality where generative AI is widely available.

☆ ChatGPT creator pulls AI detection tool due to ‘low rate of accuracy’

CNN —Less than six months after ChatGPT-creator OpenAI unveiled an AI detection tool with the potential to help teachers and other professionals detect AI generated work, the company has pulled the feature. OpenAI quietly shut down the tool last week citing a “low rate of accuracy,” according to an update to the original company blog post announcing the feature. Against that backdrop, OpenAI announced the AI detection tool in February to allow users to check if an essay was written by a human or AI. Other companies such as Turnitin have also rolled out AI plagiarism detection tools that could help teachers identify when assignments are written by the tool. Meanwhile, Princeton student Edward Tuan introduced a similar AI detection feature, called ZeroGPT.

CNN —Two months after OpenAI unnerved some educators with the public release of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that can help students and professionals generate shockingly convincing essays, the company is unveiling a new tool to help teachers adapt. OpenAI on Tuesday announced a new feature, called an “AI text classifier,” that allows users to check if an essay was written by a human or AI. Public schools in New York City and Seattle have already banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices. OpenAI now joins a small but growing list of efforts to help educators detect when a written work is generated by ChatGPT. Some companies such as Turnitin are actively working on ChatGPT plagiarism detection tools that could help teachers identify when assignments are written by the tool.

☆ Teachers are adapting to concerns about a powerful new AI tool

Some teachers said they’ve also heard of students being required to film short videos that elaborate on their thought process. Public schools in New York City and Seattle, meanwhile, have already banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices. Reid, the professor at Coastal Carolina University, believes teachers should work with ChatGPT and teach best practices in the classroom. Reid said teachers could encourage students to plug an assignment question into the tool and have them compare that result to what they personally wrote. “Like with other new technologies, this could be a tool instructors use to help students express their ideas,” she said.

New York CNN —New York City public schools will ban students and teachers from using ChatGPT, a powerful new AI chatbot tool, on the district’s networks and devices, an official confirmed to CNN on Thursday. “Due to concerns about negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content, access to ChatGPT is restricted on New York City Public Schools’ networks and devices,” Jenna Lyle, the deputy press secretary for the New York public schools, said in a statement. New York City appears to be the first major school district to crack down on ChatGPT, barely a month after the tool first launched. While there are genuine concerns about how ChatGPT could be used, it’s unclear how widely adopted it is among students. But many educators fear students will use the tool to cheat on assignments.

☆ Universitatea #diez. De ce studenții din Austria se bucură de nota unu și cum au loc examenele la o facultate de Business Management din Innsbruck

Un curs durează o lună sau două, după care susținem examenele și începem un nou curs. Majoritatea examenelor sunt constituite din două, în unele cazuri chiar și în trei părți: partea orală, care de obicei constituie 40 % din nota finală, și partea scrisă, ce constituie 60 %. Astfel, dacă studentul a comis o greșeală sau nu a reușit să rezolve exercițiile obligatorii, acest exercițiu poate salva situația. Dacă și la a doua încercare studentul eșuează acumulând mai puțin de 60 %, lui i se oferă și o a treia șansă. Cea de a treia șansă este realizată oral, în prezența profesorului, a doi-trei asistenți și a șefului de catedră.
