You'd have to teach them how to write first. Most kids these days including college students, can't read or write cursive.
I don’t care about cursive writing but looking at my own child’s penmanship and it’s terrible. I can’t even get mad considering the majority of the stuff she does in class is on a computer. I sincerely hope there’s a shift away from that coming soon.

I feel like this will be the only way to combat the AI stuff. AI is an incredible resource. Don't know how you prevent students from using it besides making everything hand written.

It doesn’t even just stop at handwriting. These kids can’t spell for shite either since the computer flags everytime something is misspelled.

LSU and every other institution of learning.......
You can track the usage of some AI tools - the greatest user volume is during the school year.

same energy as people are using AI to write resumes and companies are using AI to review candidates and no one is getting hired

You have to let it adapt to you and create a project (in ChatGPT) where you will used for writing essays (or whatever) then feed it essays you actually wrote so it can learn your style of writing, words you are likely to used, etc. Then ask it if it can help you write an essay on _____ and that you want to generate an outline first. Tell it all the things that you need it to cover. Then tell it you want to start off with ____. Give it the information you want it to cover, tell it you want it detailed and written in your style of writing. They are probably doing it to quickly generate an essay, but if you actually do it right it will still take less time than if you were writing it out on your own and have it done as if you wrote it without using anything.
Great advice, if the purpose of the class is to teach you how to use AI to generate content you can pass off as your own.

It’s pretty ironic considering we use AI all the time to help draft technical documents at work. We obviously don’t just copy and paste but we do use it to help us draft outlines and identify key components of a work plan.

Sounds like this goes both ways. If I'm a teacher, I'm doing everything possible to weed out AI in essays my students write. On the other end, sounds like these kids are getting screwed. A lot of professors enjoy the power trip that comes with their positions.

You’re already an adult who (hopefully) received an education that fostered critical thinking and creativity.
You needed reps to get there. You literally have to train your brain to think. AI removes those reps that incite productive struggle.

I guarantee you professors want to deal with the associated paperwork to report students even less than the cops want to write a police report about your busted car window.

Yeah, I get that. However, I find it funny that as soon as we don’t know how to draft a document or know what may be required, the first thing we do is go to AI to figure it out which is what some of these kids are told they’re not allowed to do.

My daughter (9th grade) had a similar experience last semester as well. I watched her type the paper and helped her with a few points. I know she didn't use AI, other than for proofreading. She accepted a few of the changes and submitted the paper. Over 80% of her class was given a zero because of AI detection. The app that her teacher used claimed her paper was 73% likely AI. She, and the others, were given another opportunity on the essay but would only receive at most an 80 for the grade. She worked on it for a week, I manually proofread it for her, and she turned it in. Her teacher's app claimed that it was 38% likely AI, but accepted it. I can confirm with 100% certainty though, there was no AI involved on the re-write.

kids paying universities north of 100k-200k to get harassed about bullshite assignment work that provides no life value.

That’s what he biggest hang up when it comes to AI detection for students their age. AI is just a function of what’s fed into it. I have no doubt that what they’re being asked to write at that level has been done ad nauseam for at least 50 years so the likelihood of it looking similar to what’s fed into these software is probably pretty high.

I am in law school, and we have to sign the honor code every time we turn something in stating that we did not use generative AI.

Obviously, but people in their late teens and early 20s are dumb. Even the smart ones are dumb.. At life. So they will go incredible lengths to cheat when they could have easily did it the right way. I get it, I was one of those idiots.
