As I have discussed with some in this thread previously, AI-generated writing is impossible to detect with any reasonable measure of accuracy, no matter what those selling these systems might wish for you to believe. I am a computer engineer with over 30 years of experience in working with large language models of all kinds. It would seem that this hard truth is finally coming to bear. But not without consequences.

Students at Texas A&M University at Commerce were in celebration mode this past weekend, as parents filed into the university’s Field House to watch students donned in cap and gown walk the graduation stage.

 

But for pupils in Jared Mumm’s animal science class, the fun was cut short when they received a heated email Monday afternoon saying that students were in danger of failing the class for using ChatGPT to cheat. “The final grade for the course is due today at 5 p.m.,” the instructor warned, according to a copy of the note obtained by The Washington Post. “I will be giving everyone in this course an ‘X,'” indicating incomplete.
