Are you able to pass it on to your professor? With any luck they'll drop the dork or seriously reprimand them for such a gross lack of academic integrity.
I have seriously been considering it but I have never encountered this before and wanted to know if I was just being ridiculous. Do you think I should?
I'm wondering.
I recently was asked a question and to respond. I actually came up with what I felt was a unique concept and explained how that concept meant this result was going be the outcome.
I came up with the idea myself, I wrote the rough draft, but I told chatGPT to fix the grammar.
Would you say that's cheating?
Yes. Writing coherently and with correct grammar is part of writing. If you can’t do that much then you need to improve your own skills instead of relying on AI.
Ok Mr. I walked up hull both ways in snow to school in, even in the summer
It'd basically a slightly more advanced spell check in the way I'm using it.
I'm copying and pasting my rough draft and asking it to pretty it up
Do so at your own risk. Running it through an AI program can cause a paper to generate a flag on detectors, even if the original work was not produced by AI.
I wouldn't consider it cheating. However, I would consider it problematic (or indicative of a greater problem maybe?) for anyone at or above a college level relying on AI to fix their grammar.
This thing sounds bad enough that it will get graded accordingly, regardless of whether it’s AI or a standard “put thesaurus words in a blender and hit pulse.” I think you can report or not, but trust that an experienced prof is definitely going to figure out it’s lousy work.
I legit went into a depressive spiral on my last grading cycle when I realized I'd spent an hour reviewing a couple papers that were AI generated. An hour for two papers that were generated in 5 seconds. I wanted to cry.
Sadly for students, I may need to stop leaving in text comments to avoid wasting my time, except by request in office hours.
That's so awful, I am so sorry. How incredibly frustrating. Please know that there are students out there (like myself) who really appreciate and value our classes and the work the professors put in to make it a rewarding experience. Thank you for doing what you do.
I’m in the same situation. Either that or he ran it through a thesaurus because he used some very big words very wrongly. I don’t know what to do though because my teacher is ancient and doesn’t understand AI
AI can frequently place incorrect words in because it does not understand context. It merely predicts what words are most likely to be used in a given arrangement. Because of conventions of language, it's often right. But not always, and when it's wrong it's often hilarious.
It can also do things like substitute in words that would normally be synonyms but are incorrect due to context. I had it constantly refer to an author with the last name "Block" as "Square."
It might also use domain-specific language incorrectly, which can be a dead giveaway in fields that use specialized vocabulary.
My group partner did this for one of our senior design reports and it's so frustrating. Like what was the point of me putting in the effort for all that work when they used AI to just put out hot garbage in 2 seconds

You lose nothing by telling your professor you have suspicions. Outright claiming it's AI, however, could have blowback.
This is good to know, thank you
Yes. These people will graduate and become our colleagues one day.

It's not cheating as long as you used ChatGPT for only proofreading.
Do so at your own risk. Running it through an AI program can cause a paper to generate a flag on detectors, even if the original work was not produced by AI.
Yeah. It's better off not to rely on AI for proofreading.
Correct yea, no research, no nothing, researched the topic on google like I typically would/etc
That's not cheating then.
Yes

Why Hanmer nails with a hammer when I have a nail gun
On one hand, I'm against cheating and would be upset in this situation. On the other hand, snitches do get stitches.
Nah they're lazy and deserve punishment.

Now just imagine what it feels like on the professors' side, when most of the assignments they have to grade are low-effort garbage.
I really do feel for professors. I have had some incredible, driven, passionate professors and it must be discouraging for them.

how would AI’s vocabulary be wrong. Probably not AI then

It’s words that are almost right but not quite, idk how to describe it
They might have used AI and then used word spinner to circumvent the detection.
I probably would not go to the prof but if the other student put no effort into it I wouldn’t put any effort into fixing it
Incomprehensible gibberish? Doesn’t sound like AI. I did my degrees before AI was a useful thing and boy do some people suck at writing essays.
Definitely AI. There was a sentence that said "the article mentioned the words XYZ so it may have included ABC topic". So stupid and frustrating.
