“They don’t think of it as cheating, just another tool in completing assignments.”
I’m a college professor and I am seeing quite a bit of ChatGPT being used by students. Here is the issue. Many of my students do not cite their sources, yet write a pretty good paper. The bigger issue, is students are submitting ChatGPT created papers without bothering to check if the paper makes sense. With liberal grading, without citations, the school is only taking fractions of a point off for lack of citations and references.
What students do not know is we do check for AI content. If I suspect a paper is created with AI, I just enter the contents of the paper into ChatGPT and ask if the paper was created with AI.
I do the same and use several AI detectors.
Even though I have a policy of no AI papers, students still try and then deny when i catch them.
Before that it was Google Searches and cutting and pasting.
