The rise of AI-generated writing: unveiling the challenges
Within the evolving landscape of education, a perplexing challenge looms large – the detection of AI-generated writing. As technology advances, concerns regarding academic integrity arise. How can teachers truly uncover the presence of AI-generated content within students’ work?
Microsoft, the creators of the Bing AI chatbot, commented on the risks of AI plagiarism:
“The AI isn’t capable of creating thoughts, making conclusions, or asking original, thought-provoking questions. It’s all been sourced from different places across the web. An AI essay isn’t anything more than a compilation of information for you to use to write your own essay as you learn the material and create your own opinions about the subject”.
Educators possess a remarkable ability to tackle this enigma head-on. Armed with specialized tools like TraceGPT, an AI detector by PlagiarismCheck, they delve into the depths of written compositions, seeking credible signs of artificial intelligence involvement.
How do teachers detect AI writing?
TraceGPT, an advanced AI detector, serves as the teacher’s ally in this quest. Harnessing the power of cutting-edge algorithms and machine learning techniques, it meticulously scrutinizes written submissions, unveiling potential instances of AI-generated content.
AI detector can be integrated into the institution’s LMS via API; teachers can also use the PlagiarismCheck.org platform and Google Chrome extension to detect AI on webpages.
Institution members can:
- use our web platform or API integration to submit the text;
- find out if the text contains AI-generated content and how much of it is in the percentage of the total;
- download the full report in PDF format to provide reasoned feedback to the authors and management.
AI Text Detector marks suspicious sentences as ‘Likely Al’ or ‘Highly likely Al’. It also provides a whole-text percentage verdict. Parts of the text are highlighted with different colors.
TraceGPT tool generates one of the four verdicts and a detailed report within a few moments:
TraceGPT by PlagiarismCheck.org verdict: Probability percentage Human-written The probability of the whole text being human-written is high: ≥70%. There are just a few potentially AI-written sentences: ≤5% 類 Likely Human-written The probability of the whole text being human-written is high: ≥70%. There are less than a third of sentences with signs of AI: 5.01-30% AI Content Detected The probability of the whole text being human-written is high: ≥70%. However, there are over a third of sentences with signs of AI: 30.01-100%. And also, when “human probability” is 30-69% 烙 Likely AI-Generated The probability of the whole text being human-written is less than 30%
The percentage of potentially AI-generated sentences relative to the entire text, as well as many other general text parameters of AI-detection models, allows teachers and professors to get an accurate percentage result and a high-quality, reliable report.
Depending on the purpose, teachers can:
- provide feedback for improvement using the handy report tool;
- reject or refine AI-generated content;
- check the validity of AI-generated sentences more carefully.
The PlagiarismCheck tool can combine three solutions to prevent student cheating:
- Similarity: plagiarism, paraphrasing, improperly formatted citation of other people’s texts;
- Fingerprint: by a deep analysis of the writing style, it detects whether the text was written by the student or essay mill/by someone else;
- AI detector: detects % of AI-generated content in student works.
