AI detectors like ChatGPT and Turnitin are ineffective in catching students using generative AI. A classroom experiment conducted by a teacher showed that 12-year-olds were able to beat these detectors easily. The experiment also revealed that the detectors falsely accused students and targeted non-native English speakers. Educators are seeking innovative solutions to address this problem.Continue reading “STOP USING AI DETECTORS!!!”
