If you’re relying on digital AI detectors, you’re fooling yourself. Students have access to the same AI detectors. They put AI generated papers into those detectors and then change words and phrases around until the AI detectors believe their work is human-generated. Other students use services like Walter Writes, which are designed to bypass AI detectors.
Have you blocked Google and Bing on your school network? If not, your students have access to full, generative AI. Even if you have blocked Google, Bing, Brave Search, Duck Duck Go, and any other search engine that integrates generative AI, do you know how easy it is for a student to create a way to access ChatGPT’s API through a third party site?
We work on all parts of the educational process, including curriculum design, grading approaches, counseling and support systems, developing student task forces, parent communication (i.e. scaring parents into blocking AI at home), and intelligent ways to use digital detectors. Working with your teachers, your IT team, and your legal team, we can help create a holistic, multipronged system that will make sure your students don’t even try to use AI…and that anyone who tries regrets it.
