A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Tools like Turnitin or GPTzero don't work well enough to trust. The real issue isn't just detecting AI writing. It's doing it without falsely accusing students. Even a 0.5% false positive rate is too high when someone's academic future is on the line. I'm more concerned about wrongly flagging human-written work than missing AI use. These tools can't explain why they suspect AI. At best, they only catch obvious cases. Ones you'd likely notice yourself anyway.
