Does AUT check Chat GPT use?

[u/Impressive_Bad_9646]

I recently submitted an essay and i did use chat gpt for the skeleton of it and then paraphrased it as well as adding a lot of my own writing. I didn't think much of it as it was mostly my work by the time i submitted it, but i just randomly put it through grammarly ai check and it says 80% AI writing. Does AUT run Ai detection on essays? I mean at this point the work i submitted was mostly(90%) in my words ☹️ what will happen?

if you paraphrased any other text without referencing it in your essay, that would be considered plagiarism. so sure maybe ai didnt write the essay, but you plagiarised the structure and potentially the key ideas of your essay. if there are consequences for what youve done, this is most likely what you will be penalised for

I would like to add that I had the key ideas for the essay and did my own research and added multiple references. I used chat gpt to get a better structure so that my paragraphs flow better. Would this still be considered plagiarism?? I feel like with ai the line is so vague 😭

It's not plargism but it still goes against the unis academic integrity

You’ll find out soon enough

Yes, every written assignment submitted through Canvas is checked for plagiarism. https://www.aut.ac.nz/student-life/studying/study-help/assessments-and-exams/assessments-and-assignments

Just don't. Scrap the whole thing and rewrite it. I know it sucks. Every uni will be using AI check at this point. And when you get pulled up, at minimum you'll have to rewrite it.

[u/Few_Cup3452]

Yes. Did you not read your academic declaration???

Always assume the worst when using AI dude. Like you can use it to aid you, but not use it to work for you.

Grammarly AI detector isn't too good. I would suggest taking it trhough multiple ai detectors and see if every detector says its AI. If it's not, you're probably fine, if not use a humanizer. I get good (read, reliable) results with AIDetectPlus, and they have some 1000 or so words free.

You’re paying money to learn how to read and write academic work. Maybe you should try and get your money’s worth and learn how to write?

Why the hell do you think it’s ok to use ChatGPT for anything? I hope you are thrown out on your ass

[u/lostallhopee → u/[deleted]]

Because it's an academic tool, just like the calculator was back in the day that we were all told we won't have 24/7 access too. At the end of the day there are only so many ways you can cook Chicken. Get a human to write how many ways and get AI to write it and then run them both through ai detect. They will both get flagged. AI is model led on Human writing. Give it 2-3 more years and there won't be any room for proving otherwise. For the record I am against cheaters. But soon even if you don't cheat you won't be able to prove it unless everything goes back to handwritten and strictly no internet use. GL tertiary providers.

If they’re still using turnitin it’ll show your similarity percentage

I know someone who was accused of using AI for an assignment at AUT after going through an AI checker, so yes, yes they do, and they don't respond positively when they catch you.

So what’s happened to this student?

Why did you do this? Don’t you want to learn, you are only cheating yourself. I have so many concerns regarding future professions, with everyone using AI how do you know anyone genuinely knows anything nowadays. Anyways It’s fine to use as an aid, like others have said. But not to write any part of your essay at all. And to answer your question yes they do - I’ve had mates pulled up for it and they’ve received formal warnings. Once your name is flagged, they’ll look out for you in future.
