‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

    I am currently at a university. Everything that is written is normally turned in through ‘turn-it-in’ that does all the checking. I get a percentage of quotes, plagiarism, and it scans references. They have also added in a preliminary AI scanner that tells 'possibility ’ of ai writing.

        Lol. Sounds right. We see it as a percentage and it highlight what was plagiarized and the sources it is pulling it from, to include past university assignments. So yes, you can be hit for that - but then the human grader would see it as a false positive.
