Teacher to student: You can't get one past me

Based on this article by Rachel Kane at CNET.

As AI writing tools become more common, students are increasingly using them to cheat on assignments, prompting educators to find new ways to detect this dishonesty. Professors can often spot AI-generated work by its repetitive use of prompt keywords, unnatural phrasing, generic explanations, and factual inaccuracies known as "hallucinations."

To catch cheaters, Rachel recommends that teachers proactively test their own assignments in ChatGPT and collect a real writing sample from each student at the beginning of the semester for comparison. Another effective method is to ask an AI to rewrite a suspected paper, as this often reveals lazy synonym-swapping, highlighting the need for educators to understand these tools to maintain academic integrity.
