AI cheating is everywhere. There’s now a whole industry built on lying and hiding it. |
Over the past couple of years, the usage of AI among students has exploded in popularity, and teachers aren’t too psyched about it. Earlier, it was easy to spot AI language, and there are a few other technical ways to sniff cheating. However, influencers are now peddling tools that can “humanize” AI-generated material. Some can even cheat the creation process by using a “background worker” approach that’s always working. The race to create the best “humanizer” and “autotyper” tools has created a hyper-competitive niche of companies building tools to wipe evidence of AI usage. Videos promoting these tools often rake in a massive number of views. But the consensus is obvious. Jenny Maxwell, head of education at Superhuman (the company behind Grammarly) says they can’t yank AI away from students’ hands, as doing so would be an “educational malpractice.” On the other hand, teachers are using tools such as GPTZero to detect AI-generated content, but their reliability has been questioned repeatedly. |
