Detecting AI in Universities

by Kay King
11 replies
A professor in Canada has found a foolproof way to 'detect' papers from students that are AI written.


I had posted here before about 'reference books' listed in an AI written paper that were not real books. They were references CREATED by AI to provide 'proof' and 'further information' on an AI written article.

The Canadian professor found footnote references used in AI 'academic' papers turned in by students had the same 'tell'. The references listed as 'sources' were totally fake.

He said he now simply looks up a few of the footnote references and can quickly determine which students used AI rather than writing their own papers.

I think it's funny - a system designed to be so 'real' it tries to create an illusion of reality. And a human smart enough to figure it out.

    Lol very ironic.

    AI will only ever be a tool, it will never be able to surpass the human mind. How embarrassing for the students who got caught!

      Yeah, however, Ai can complement the mind currently. Are you aware that Ai can pass both the Bar Exam and Medical Exams? The teacher who caught the students is smart knowing students are lazy.

      Just something to consider - "Study Finds ChatGPT Outperforms Physicians in High-Quality, Empathetic Answers to Patient Questions
      While AI won't replace your doctor, the JAMA Internal Medicine paper suggests physicians working together with technologies like ChatGPT may revolutionize medicine. "

      "The panel of healthcare professional evaluators preferred ChatGPT responses to physician responses 79% of the time. "

      "Additionally, ChatGPT responses were rated significantly higher in quality than physician responses: good or very good quality responses were 3.6 times higher for ChatGPT than physicians (physicians 22.1% versus ChatGPT 78.5%). The responses were also more empathic: empathetic or very empathetic responses were 9.8 times higher for ChatGPT than for physicians (physicians 4.6% versus ChatGPT 45.1%). "

    This post is completely off topic...and you can delete it after you read it.

    I visit the forum sometimes without logging in...as it seems the majority of people do by the statistics at the bottom.

    I've noticed spammers will come by and do a spam post with a link, and then the post is deleted and they're sometimes banned.

    However, when viewing the forum offline, the post with the link will still show up for hours and hours and usually days. I've seen them stay up for a couple of weeks or longer.

    I think some people have learned to drop by and do a spam post with a link knowing it will be deleted but also knowing it will show up on the forum when someone views the forum without logging in as it's how most people view the forum.

    Would seem like if a post were deleted for spam, it would also be deleted for those visiting the forum without logging in...but it's not.

    Didn't know where else to mention this, but I think it's a secret some spammers have figured out.

      Please try appending /?cache-bust at the end of a Warrior URL.

      Example:

      https://www.warriorforum.com/artific...ce/?cache-bust

      This could be caused by a slow cache refresh. Thanks.

    Interesting - mods have pointed out some synch problems and this may be part of it. How desperate must you be to post spam and then hope it 'lasts' for a while?

      If you visit the forum right now without logging in and go to this section and thread, there is a post above my last one that was deleted 7 hours ago and is still showing.

      Just a heads up.

    You mean he didn't bother checking the references prior?

    Eventually someone will "create" a software that can detect AI in academic use in the same way there are platforms used to detect plagiarism

    Interesting. I think students should try hard to use the gift of intellect bestowed on them to answer their homework. The AI tools should be used to just give directions on how to tackle the questions asked

    The detection of AI in universities typically refers to identifying instances where artificial intelligence systems are being used or implemented in various aspects of academic life.
