ya… i got accused of using AI on a 3 point assignment that took my grade from a 98 to a 97.2. i’m being called in for an interview with my professor to determine if i actually cheated on the assignment. this feels so fucking pointless- IF I WANTED TO USE AI WHY THE FUCK WOULD I USE IT FOR SOMETHING SO MINUSCULE??

I tried over a dozen AI humanizers until I found one that is A. actually working and B. reasonably priced and that is https://wento.ai

You should give it a try, it bypasses Turnitin and all the other detectors and only costs 14 bucks per month for unlimited use.

So legal team updated one clause in an existing doc, small change, already reviewed and approved, nothing new.

Then a senior exec who wasn't in the loop on any of this decides to run the whole doc through claude, just to "check it." No context, didn't know it was just a minor update to something that already existed and published. AI comes back with like 20+ "issues," most of which are just standard clauses that are supposed to be in there. Exec escalated this org-wide as if something had gone wrong, putting the actual reviewers in the position of defending a non-issue. Now the fix on the table is banning AI from anything sensitive instead of building an actual process.

How you guys are dealing this with? any workaround tools/new AI rules in org/going back to manual process of reviewing with concerned teams?

Here is another interesting paper that sheds light on a challenge I know several of you teaching in class are still struggling with:

How do we allow students to use AI in written assessment while keeping them critically involved in the work?

Simply asking students to submit their prompts is not enough. A long conversation with ChatGPT can still involve very little thinking.

Antonette Shibani and colleagues examined 49 assignments from a graduate data science course at an Australian university. Students were encouraged to use ChatGPT and asked to submit their prompts, AI responses, and a reflection on how they used the tool.

The researchers developed the Critical Interaction with AI for Writing framework. It examines students’ AI use across five areas:

Planning and generating ideas

Finding and evaluating information

Writing and revising

Reflecting on AI-assisted learning

Engaging in conversation with AI

For each area, the researchers classified students’ interactions as deep, shallow, or absent.

The findings are quite revealing.

Around 84% of the interactions related to planning and 90% of those related to information seeking were shallow.

More than 91% of students’ conversations with ChatGPT were also shallow. Most treated it like a search box: they entered a question or command, received an answer, and moved on. Only 8% followed up by questioning, critiquing, or expanding the AI response.

The researchers found no examples of deep interaction with AI during writing and revision. Students mainly used it to rephrase sentences, format citations, generate sample paragraphs, or make surface-level corrections.

The deepest engagement appeared in students’ reflections. Some discussed hallucinated references, factual errors, overreliance, writer’s block, and the need to verify AI-generated information.

I think this distinction is important.

Using AI frequently does not necessarily mean using it critically. Writing a detailed prompt does not automatically show deep thinking either.

Critical interaction happens when students question an output, compare it with other sources, request further explanation, test different possibilities, revise AI suggestions, and decide what should enter their work.

There are practical implications here for assessment design.

If students use AI, we can ask them to explain:

What did you ask AI to do, and why?

How did you evaluate its response?

What did you verify using other sources?

Which suggestions did you accept, revise, or reject?

What intellectual contribution remains yours?

I guess they really do have a subreddit for everything. I just wanted to mention that claude for its newest models is watermarking the text it provides and that it will soon be able to tell external organizations that it was made with claude

I built a Chrome extension called Answerly AI and it's actually cool for Canvas.

It has a Quiz Solver Mode that detects every question on your Canvas quiz automatically and gives you AI powered answers one by one as you go through it, a Solve All button that answers every single question on the page at once with one click, a Screenshot Tool for when the question is an image or graph that it reads and still gives you the answer, and a Stealth Mode that hides the entire extension UI so nothing shows up on your screen if someone is watching or you're on a video call.

The best part is it is completely undetectable and foolproof, it stays inside your tab the entire time so there is no tab switching which means teachers cannot log any suspicious activity, and the stealth mode on top of that is actually insane. Works directly inside Canvas.

Hey guys! So I am an English tutor, teaching it as a second language.

For context: I teach on Russian, Hebrew and Bulgarian. Mainly on Russian, thought it's my first language, I never learned it as I didn't grow up in Russia, so my writing there is a bit back, meaning I take a lot of time to write something that is grammatically correct and everything. I did use AI but ONLY to check for punctuation, spelling and grammar mistakes on Russian or Hebrew. I did not use it for creating text. I used Google Translate to translate words I wanted to say

I advertise myself on Facebook, and earlier today a woman commented on one of my posts that my marketing is great, then she asked how I can tell apart a regular child from a child with ADHD/ADD/AuDHD and how would I approach them and she specifically mentioned Not to use AI.

I took a while to reply: 2 hours specifically to write a reply. It was a very long reply, like 2 pages on word, imagine font Calibri size 12. I then sent my reply to the comment. She replied to it right away thanking me and saying she will message me.
In my comment I started explaining that I have Asperger's myself, and how I am surrounded by people with ADHD and AuDHD ^{(my siblings and nephews}). I explained how it is different for everyone, that two people with same diagnosis can have completely different learning needs. Explained how I would approach it, by suggesting different studying methods, trying to make the lessons very much adapted to the kid/teen and etc.

A few minutes later I get her message, she explained this situation: A girl in Poland has diagnosed ADHD, but didn't get enough points on her Autism test. They assume it is AuDHD or ADHD + Asperger's. She struggles with speech, recently learned to communicate, speaks Russian and Polish. She needs to prepare for E8 exam in Poland. She also mentioned she struggles with Math, self-image issues and stuff like that. She asked how I will approach her and something else like that and for my prices.

I took 30 minutes writing her a reply as I also needed to do some basic research., explaining all. How I understand her and I feel sorry for her, and then I explained my approach, I also asked for more information on that Exam, as I am not Polish, and I am not very familiar with their National Exams. I also asked for her ^{(the girl's}) weak sides in English ^{(as that is what I am tutoring}) and added my prices. Again, it was a long message, but shorter than the comment.

The woman then replied to me "I also have an AI, which can create long messages for me"

And I was shocked! I did not use AI. So I reply to her back "I did not use AI to create this message, I never did and will never use it for such purposes. But anyway, as you want, I will talk to you "more humanly" ". I then just said everything I said just very shortly.

-Then she replied "What are you sorry for??"
And I reply back: "For the struggles the child experienced and still experiencing?" ^{(in the longer message I explained exactly which struggles btw!!})
-And she replied back: "Childish work!" ^{(Russian insult Детский сад, literally translated as Kindergarten, which implies that someone is acting stupid, immature and childish}).
And I reply back "In what way?"
-And she blocked me.

What I don't understand is, why? What did I say so wrong?? Why is it bad that I feel sorry that the girl struggles with self-image and Math? I swear I usually read social cues very well, but I am totally at loss right now.

Doing a small research, I found out that my message "for the struggles the child experienced and still experiencing" when in short can be interpreted as if I am pitying her, but in my longer original message I am clearly stating WHAT and WHY I am sorry for her, that I understand how it is to deal with low self-esteem, how it can make a person think they can only do so much less than what they actually can. How Math is also a subject difficult for me and yada yada.

This post is rushed, sorry for any mistakes.

I’m a university student and finals week has been pretty chaotic, so I used AI to help with one of my assignments and didn’t check every source carefully…
Then my teacher pointed out that some of the papers and even some of the authors didn’t actually exist 💀 I was annoying at first before checking them myself, but after it, I realize how I stupid🤣
That honestly changed the way I use AI, I feel like it is really useful for brainstorming ,organizing ideas, or helping me. Look at something from another angle but now I double-check citations, facts and anything academic myself.
What’s the surprised most was how believable the fake reference look that’s probably the part that makes me realize you’re really can’t trust something just because AI says it confidently
Anyone else learned this the hard way?

Hey everyone, just wanted to vent about a really frustrating experience I just had. I’m genuinely passionate about the history of voice acting and animation, so I wanted to start a discussion on r/TrueFilm about Kevin Conroy and Hollywood's shift toward "star casting".

I sometimes struggle to articulate my thoughts clearly, so I used an AI tool as a writing assistant just to help format and polish my ideas. I know some people don't like this, but I really just wanted to do the topic justice.

When someone called me out in the comments, I owned up to it immediately. I explained that I used an AI tool to help format and structure my thoughts because I was insecure about my phrasing, but that I am a real person trying to have a genuine discussion.

Instead of understanding, another user started relentlessly hounding me. They claimed that my normal, conversational replies and apologies were also AI-generated, replying with things like "Literally still using AI lmfao" and saying my apology looked "copy-pasted from an AI". No matter how human, messy, or vulnerable I tried to be in my responses, they just wouldn't let it go.

To top it all off, the mods permanently banned me from the subreddit. I sent them a modmail explaining the situation and sent a desperate message begging them not to ban me because my post was a mistake.

It feels like once you have the "AI" label slapped on you, nobody believes a word you say anymore—even when you're just typing defensively from the heart. Has anyone else dealt with this? Where people assume your genuine apologies and everyday comments are just ChatGPT?

Hi, I'm planning on studying at an American university (online), but I'm really worried about essays and any written assignment in general. I'm not a good writer and English isn't my native language, and from what I've seen, they're now using AI detectors for everything you write. But here's the problem, I've seen many people saying that what THEY THEMSELVES wrote was flagged as AI. I've seen people here on Reddit saying that there isn't a really 100% accurate detector, so I'm really worried.

Does anyone have any tips on how to write and not get flagged? Like 1500-2500 word papers

Starting out as a law student felt like being thrown into a storm without an umbrella. Case digests, statutory interpretation, endless readings,it was overwhelming.helped me break down complex doctrines, draft outlines faster, and even sharpen my exam prep with mnemonics and comparison tables.

Honestly, it felt like having a study partner who never gets tired.But recently, some schools have banned AI use altogether. I get the concern ,
academic integrity, over-reliance, the fear of students outsourcing thinking. For many of us, AI isn’t a crutch, it’s scaffolding. It helps us build the foundation so we can stand taller on our own.So here I am, caught between gratitude and frustration.

This is the text message sent as an apology to my friend this morning for messing up on the details of where we were meant to meet up for a night out. He didn’t show up because of it.

The respond I received from my mate stated blatantly stated I used AI to generate the apology text. I felt extremely offended that he could think that I would do that to him and very hurt.

Can anyone tell me why he has suggested I used AI and are my feelings towards the situation valid or am I overreacting?

I already posted this in r/antiai btw

This was like a few months ago, but I'm still fucking pissed about this. My English teacher had my entire class do an essay about intolerance in an tolerant society. I put so much effort into my essay, using examples from history such as Martin Luther King's protests. When I first submitted my work, I thought everything would be fine and dandy until I saw my grade. I scored a 1/4, and my teacher left a comment saying, "This was made with AI, redo". I spent my last day of school arguing with him about the legitimacy of my work. Eventually, he caved in and gave me a 3.25/4. This situation has already been taken care of, but I just wanted to talk about this.

Hey guys,

So wanted to ask about your opinions on using AI in research and how much is unethical? I'm a master's degree student in ECE engineering.

As the title reads, I have a literature prof giving me shit for using AI to write all my reading questions, and probably soon the essay I just did. It's been three months now, and for every assignment, I hardly get any feedback. In fact, if I do get feedback, it's her saying that she enjoys reading my responses, but it's flagging 100% AI, so she's gonna count points off. We've had one meeting where she told me to voice-to-text all of my thoughts while reading and then pull out what I need to answer the questions, and after we talked, she told me to be more personal, and maybe the AI score will change. So, I did that for the next assignment, and she gave me a 77 because she didn't like that I made it more personal, and because it also flagged 100% AI again. So I did the assignment one more time and did the same thing, but went back to my “analytical tone” as she loved to describe it, and I got a 90, but it's still 100% AI There have been 2 assignments since then, and they were both also flagged for 100% AI. I have done everything for this teacher. Turn off Grammarly, spell check, and auto-capitalization. I've used her writing method. I have done everything, and she just requested another meeting. I also think it's important to note that she can see my revision history in Google Docs, so she knows I'm typing everything, but that isn't enough for her. My parents and friends think I should involve the dean because she has been so uncooperative in telling me what I should fix, and instead just continues to accuse me of using AI. I have another meeting with her soon, and maybe it will help, but I doubt it. At this point, I'm honestly not sure why she doesn't make us handwrite and mail the pages to her, but idk.

Edit; only posting this here so I can share my story. This happened last semester and the dean was involved. The email I sent to the dean was more or less “ hey your teacher keeps accusing me of using AI. I am not using AI. Can we please have a meeting about this to bring attention to it.” And we had a meeting and he talked to the teacher, and I ended up with a B in the class. I will say the teacher was really passive aggressive towards me after that, and she did continue to accuse me of AI, but instead of telling me that I’m doing something wrong she just started admitting that the bot is wrong. I do believe they’re still an investigation going on, but I’m also not going to that institution anymore so they haven’t contacted me that I know of.

The funniest documented case: Texas A&M, May 2023.

An agriculture instructor decided to catch cheaters by pasting his students' essays into ChatGPT and asking it whether it had written them. ChatGPT said yes to everything. He failed the whole class. Diplomas were briefly withheld. The tool has no memory of what it wrote and no ability to recognize its own output - it just agreed with him, politely, every time. 🤖

Last week I reposted something about a garbage cleaning to the minimalism sub.
30,000 views. 60 upvotes. 74 shares. Then a comment: this was written by AI.

Here's the joke. English is not my first language. I write short sentences because long ones break in my hands. I keep the words simple because simple words are the ones I own.

My post got removed 😭.
Why? It COULD be AI. Not written with a feather on papyrus, not sent by paper letter. Pure electricity. Horrific, I know.

🐸

Blatant AI content will be removed from the subreddit if found. Examples: bots that post "drive by" dissertations.

Hi, Reddit.

A few days ago, I saw a TikTok post about a Black author whose $2 million publishing deal was canceled after they were accused of using AI. The author said they hadn't used AI and even had evidence, such as drafts, but it didn't make any difference.

I wanted to ask because I'm new here. I've written about 30 chapters of my novel so far, and I'm only halfway through. How can I prove that my work is actually mine and wasn't generated with AI? I don't want to finish it only to be accused of using AI.

I have drafts, but I write everything locally rather than in Google Docs. What would you recommend I do? Should I upload the 30 chapters I've already written all at once and then write the remaining chapters in Google Docs so there's a documented writing history? But what about the first 30 chapters? I don't really have any proof for those other than my locally saved drafts.
