@bluetea @the_roamer One thing I've found when marking essays is that there's no reliable way to tell whether someone has used software to write. BUT in the last couple of years students have started to hand in essays where the sources cited do exist, but they don't actually match the content. So, for example, a student will write "Facebook has implemented new moderation techniques, including algorithm-based tone analysis (Agarwal, 2024, p. 12)" but then when I go check Agarwal, this claim does not appear. So I check a couple of sources for each essay, and if they're not checking out do a more thorough check. If it's a problem through the essay, I put it through our academic integrity system as "falsification of data/sources", rather than as "AI". Perhaps in the process some students learn that "AI" isn't intelligent and doesn't produce reliable work.
