“ is not copied from somewhere else, it’s produced by a machine, so plagiarism checking software is not going to be able to detect it and it’s not able to pick it up because the text wasn’t copied from anywhere else,” Veletsianos told Motherboard.
But that’s not the case and George Veletsianos, Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning & Technology and Associate Professor at Royal Roads Unversity explains why:
What comes from the AI program is arguably difficult to imagine because it was written by software.Īt first glance, one might think that software used by universities over the years to combat plagiarism would pick up on these papers. In the following Tweet within Peter’s thread, he himself also used the program to write an essay about his dog eating his homework. The success of this is due to how these AI programs are able to generate natural human-sounding text. This user goes into detail about how they’ve learned how to use the artificial intelligence program to spit out answers to questions on a multitude of subjects, as well as types of assignments. According to the user who goes by Urdadgirl69, they were already familiar with text-prompt-based AI tools and recently came up with the idea of using such programs to churn out original essays for school. Reddit Product Lead, Peter Yang, shared a screenshot of a post on their platform which details how a student is using AI to achieve A’s in their courses. For the students, it’s not so much cheating or creating an advantage as it’s removing unnecessary “busy work.”Ī user who goes by the screenname innovate_rye explains to Vice, “I like to learn a lot sometimes schoolwork that I have done before makes me procrastinate and not turn in the assignment…Being able to do it faster and more efficient seems like a skill to me.” In the report, students are using OpenAI’s Playground and other programs with similar applications to spit out essays and other assignments in a fraction of the time it would normally take them if they wrote the work themselves. But now according to Vice, it seems that today’s generation of students has a leg up thanks to the power of artificial intelligence. It’s one of the most famous tropes one can find in comedies that are focused on students and their lives. Finding easy ways of avoiding homework and writing reports is as old as our educational system.
