Ai detectors suck Other

Post image

Me and my Tutor worked on the whole essay and my teacher also helped me with it. I never even used AI. All of my friends and this class all used AI and guess what I’m the only one who got a zero. I just put my essay into multiple detectors and four out of five say 90% + human and the other one says 90% AI.

I'll bet a testicle this ends up going two ways in the near future.

  1. A family with sue a school, and rightly so, for falsely accusing a kid of plagiarism and the ruling with be with the family setting a precedent.

  2. Some poor kid is going to commit suicide because they've been acused of something they didn't do.

On point two, i'm not an angry person, the complete opposite but I swear to whatever deity there is out that if it my kid was accused of doing something they didn't do, it's my red line and i'll be the first person to mortgage everything I own to sue the shit out of the school that made the accusation.

What a horse shit part of existence where the people teaching our kids use AI to detect AI and complain our kids use AI.

Well, that IS how it should be treated. Elementary aged students have no business using calculators. They should master the basics. Once they move on to more advanced math where basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is just busy work in solving more advanced equations? Then sure, makes sense to use calculators.

Similarly, elementary school students have no business using Grammarly. They need to master the basics when all they do is write single sentences or single paragraphs. Once they have assignments involving lengthy essays? Sure, have an editor.

ChatGPT? Idk, I imagine it's probably best to view it the same way. Once basics are mastered, students should be able to use it. Probably collegiate level only. MAYBE high school seniors.

By this same logic, children shouldn't use ballpoint pens.

They need to learn how to use a quill and ink. Lessons on Goose plucking should be compulsory.

OR they should have to carve everything into stone tablets like the olde days.

No, it’s more similar to saying kids don’t need to learn how to write by hand when you they can just use a device to transcribe their voice to text.

The fundamentals of knowledge are important.
