My daughter’s 7th grade work is 80% flagged as AI. She is a very good writer, it’s interesting to see how poorly this will go.
Obviously we will go back to in class writing.
- ipaddr 2y agoShe should run it through ai to rewrite in a way so another ai doesn't detect it was written by ai.
- minitoar 2y agoRight, I thought this was just an arms race for tools that can generate output to fool other tools.
- testfoobar 2y agoI've heard some students are concerned that any text submitted to an AI-detector is automatically added to training sets and therefore will eventually will be flagged as AI.
- itronitron 2y agoWell, that is how AI works.
- unyttigfjelltol 2y agoThe article demonstrates that good, simple prose is being flagged as AI-generated. Reminds me of a misguided junior high English teacher that half-heartedly claimed I was a plagiarist for including the word "masterfully" in an essay, when she knew I was too stupid to use a word like that. These tools are industrializing that attitude and rolling it to teachers that otherwise wouldn't feel that way.
- ordu 2y ago> she knew I was too stupid to use a word like that. Oh... It is the story of my school math education. I always got bad marks, because I was "too stupid to come up with this particular solution to the problem". I didn't thought it was really unfair, because I thought myself to be lazy, and I looked for such solutions to math problems that would minimize my work. Oftentimes I ignored textbook ways to solve problems and used my own. I believed that it was a cheating, so naturally I got worse marks, but I put up with that, because I was lazy to do it in more complex way from a textbook.
- tdeck 2y ago> Obviously we will go back to in class writing. That would be a pretty sad outcome. In my high school we did both in-class essays and homework essays. The former were always more poorly developed and more more poorly written. IMO students still deserve practice doing something that takes more than 45 minutes.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoCould be a Saturday event in a comfortable setting. People can still practice, but then will have to somehow prove they aren’t AI :)
- testfoobar 2y agoI'd encourage you to examine the grading policies of the high schools in your area. What may seem obvious based on earlier-era measures of student comprehension and success is not the case in many schools anymore. Look up evidence based grading, equitable grading, test retake policies, etc.
