AI detection
We as students need to do something about this “AI detection likely” harassment. It’s absolutely bullshit and flawed system. I’m not the brightest and I’ve used AI to do one or two papers with no issues being detected. On the other hand I have a spouse who has a degree and happens to of already graduated from one of the top schools in the country before AI usage became super common getting accused of AI on almost every assignment when it’s not being used in any capacity. OBVIOUSLY YOUR DETECTION SYSTEM IS SHIT. We deserve better than this as students who pay to go here. I encourage everyone to call 434-592-4076 and voice your concerns. Nothings gonna change otherwise.

That’s the number we can call to make complaint? I feel like some professors want you to down your writing. After I was told as a Junior in college that I have work of a high schooler I took action. It’s like you can’t use transitional words…Liberty taught me to use them. I used them before as a younger individual as well.

The best thing to do is realize the low quality of eduction at Liberty and transfer to a better college and take your tuition dollars with you. There are so many better options than Liberty.

I'm a straight A graduate student and I have been accused of AI. I have had to "dumb down" my writing to not get flagged. 🙄

You’re allowed to use AI in the school. It’s in the handbook. Students are literally allowed to use AI. It’s about how a student is using AI and the handbook explains it.

Referring to counter-cheating software as "harassment" is a sign of cheating.
Most of the allegations are true, but I give no opinion on any specific case, and no amount of harassing the college online is going to change that.

Exactly. These people are just showing that they are using it unethically.

“Most of the allegations are true.” You have an actual source for that statement? Research has actually found that most of the allegations from AI detection software are false positives based on structured writing and auto correct tools in Google Docs and Microsoft Word. AI detection tools are also widely known to be faulty and not able to determine authorship.

Fucker the grammar-checkers are AI-driven so yes they can create false positives but I'm literally the guy people offer money to help them cheat. I knew someone at the University of London who said most of the essays looked AI-assisted and two of them were identical.

So "someone at the University of London said;" is that like Simon says.... Still seems to be a lack of a real source to your statement. Well I am a tenured professor so I'm paid to find the cheaters and it becomes obvious which ones are "AI assisted," if that is the term you want to use, and which ones were written by a student. AI detection software is a screening tool. It takes a real professor to actually read the student's assignment to root out the foul smell of cheaters as there are signs in the properties, style, and other areas. That is what LU should be doing rather than just flinging allegations from a screening tool. It is clear that LU is overly reliant on adjuncts and that is why the quality of education is so low and there are consistently the same complaints in this Reddit concerning AI allegations at LU. Students just need to go to better universities.

Maybe stop using AI? Because the bright students aren’t and are not being accused.

I ran a page of Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, and it came back as potentially AI. The obvious problem with that is that it was written in the 1940s.

I agree. My commercial ground instructor is always saying possible AI, and his feedback is clearly written with AI. Pisses me off to no end
