Texas professor FALSELY accuses class of using ChatGPT, fails them.

A Texas A&M-Commerce professor copied students essays into ChatGPT and gave out zeros if the chatbot said they cheated. The professor offered students to a chance to submit a new assignment by 5 p.m. Friday to not receive an incomplete for the class. Several students chose not to submit a new assignment and their diplomas are on hold.

This is why I’m recording my entire essay writing process start to finish to show i didn’t cheat. They even get the long pauses when i break down sobbing in the early morning.

ChatGPT told me that a paper I wrote in 2013 was written by ChatGPT

[CaTastrophy]

Didn't one of these AI checkers return "90+% AI written" for the US constitution?

[Boback]

Teacher using ChatGPT to grade essays? That sounds like cheating.

Apparently the students put the professor’s thesis he wrote a couple years ago into chatgpt and asked chatgpt if it wrote it and SURPRISE chatgpt said it did.

I got a 0% on my English final in college. I knew this was wrong so I went to the professor and asked him what the deal was. He told me that I plagiarized the paper. I told him this was impossible. He pulled up their little search program to look for plagiarism and showed me the match. I then asked him to read the authors name out loud. He asked why and then read my name. I asked him how I could plagiarize myself. The final had the option of perfecting your midterm paper so I perfected it and part of the paper stayed the same because it was good enough. He basically forgot the instructions for his own final. Haha

They’re obviously not a statistics professor. If the entire class apparently plagiarized, then the method for testing is probably inaccurate

Teachers used to accuse their students of buying term papers with ZERO proof....and so the student had no recourse but to meet with them and plop all their references on the desk and pray that the teacher didn't have a score to settle with the Dean....

For anyone wondering chatGPT doesnt have any memory between sessions or people so it would have no way to know something was written with it. In theory you could ask it to guess how likely it was that chatgpt wrote it but it can't reliably estimate that and it will answer with full confidence that it can. This is called hallucination.

If you want to see hallucination try asking it in detail about what happens in an episode of a TV show. It will get the character names right but the plot will be wrong, becuse it doesnt have details of the individual episodes. But it will happily make that all up and tell you its true.

this is probably one of the most boring dystopian worlds ever

Professor better apologize to his students.
And he should be heavily reprimanded.
These are students lives in their hands.

[osman]

Imagine a professor robbing you 3-4 thousand dollars just because he feels like it….

[kluckmeme]

Woah, he actually used it? That was a surprise.

Judges in the future: "If ChatGPT says you're guilty, you're guilty"

[ddable.]

Imagine being failed when your essay looks robotic because you're (almost) flawless in english.

3rd guy is the definition of “play dumb!”

“Not that dumb!”

[matthewthomson]

Remember kids, if smearing the reputation and ruining people by debasing them in the public eye is the only way you can make them be reasonable, then by god, you must do it. It’s not your own decisions that took away your choices in moments like that.

[hidude]

This is so inspirational. Proof that even if you are dumb as a bag of bricks you can be a university professor too. Chase your dreams kids.

[azerosblank]

When the professor is too lazy to check your homework. That's one unprofessional professor that the University should take action against.

Fun fact: ChatGPT says that any work that's really good and doesn't show much emotion has a high chance of being generated by AI. This basically means that the AI is assuming the work you show it is AI because it's just that good, and that no emotion is shown.
