Can Using a Grammar Checker Set Off AI-Detection Software?   | Educational Technology News | Scoop.it
From www.edsurge.com - April 4, 10:03 AM
A college student says she was falsely accused of cheating, and her story has gone viral. Where is the line between acceptable help and cheating with AI?
EDTECH@UTRGV's insight:

"Stevens says that a professor in a criminal justice course she took last year gave her a zero on a paper because he said that the AI-detection system in Turnitin flagged it as robot-written. Stevens insists the work is entirely her own and that she did not use ChatGPT or any other chatbot to compose any part of her paper."
