Darren Hick, a philosophy professor at Furman University in Greenville, S.C., warns in an eye-opening Facebook post that cheating using the new OpenAI chatbot, ChatGPT, can be tough to catch.
"ChatGPT responds in seconds with a response that looks like it was written by a human — moreover, a human with a good sense of grammar and an understanding of how essays should be structured."The chatbot generates new words based on "the soup of data in its neural network" — rather than searching the web. So there's no specific passage you can point to as proof a student cheated.
And plagiarism software probably won't catch it. "It's simply not designed to deal with this sort of thing," Hick told me by email.who pointed out: "People experimenting with ChatGPT were quick to realize that they could use the tool to win coding contests."Hick was tipped off because her essay "confidently and thoroughly" discussed her topic in ways "that were thoroughly wrong."
The assignment was to write a short essay on the paradox of horror. The student focused on the philosopher David Hume.some true things about Hume, and it knew what the paradox of horror was, but it was just bull----ting after that," Hick writes."For freshman-level classes ... [e.g.] the dominant themes of Moby Dick, or the causes of the war in Ukraine ...cheaters who use A.I.; it’s"Administrations are going to have to develop standards for dealing with these kinds of cases ...
"Expect a flood, people, not a trickle. ... I expect I'm going to institute a policy stating that if I believe material submitted by a student was produced by A.I., I will throw it out and give the student an impromptu oral exam on the same material."
