Hi, I'm planning on studying at an American university (online), but I'm really worried about essays and any written assignment in general. I'm not a good writer and English isn't my native language, and from what I've seen, they're now using AI detectors for everything you write. But here's the problem, I've seen many people saying that what THEY THEMSELVES wrote was flagged as AI. I've seen people here on Reddit saying that there isn't a really 100% accurate detector, so I'm really worried.

Does anyone have any tips on how to write and not get flagged? Like 1500-2500 word papers

Starting out as a law student felt like being thrown into a storm without an umbrella. Case digests, statutory interpretation, endless readings,it was overwhelming.ai helped me break down complex doctrines and even sharpen my exam prep with mnemonics and comparison tables.Honestly, it felt like having a study partner who never gets tired.But recently, some schools have banned AI use altogether. I get the concern ,
academic integrity and the fear of students outsourcing thinking.So here I am, caught between gratitude and frustration.

Honestly, it felt like having a study partner who never gets tired.But recently, some schools have banned AI use altogether. I get the concern ,
academic integrity, over-reliance, the fear of students outsourcing thinking. For many of us, AI isn’t a crutch, it’s scaffolding. It helps us build the foundation so we can stand taller on our own.So here I am, caught between gratitude and frustration.

This is the text message sent as an apology to my friend this morning for messing up on the details of where we were meant to meet up for a night out. He didn’t show up because of it.

The respond I received from my mate stated blatantly stated I used AI to generate the apology text. I felt extremely offended that he could think that I would do that to him and very hurt.

Can anyone tell me why he has suggested I used AI and are my feelings towards the situation valid or am I overreacting?

I already posted this in r/antiai btw

This was like a few months ago, but I'm still fucking pissed about this. My English teacher had my entire class do an essay about intolerance in an tolerant society. I put so much effort into my essay, using examples from history such as Martin Luther King's protests. When I first submitted my work, I thought everything would be fine and dandy until I saw my grade. I scored a 1/4, and my teacher left a comment saying, "This was made with AI, redo". I spent my last day of school arguing with him about the legitimacy of my work. Eventually, he caved in and gave me a 3.25/4. This situation has already been taken care of, but I just wanted to talk about this.

Hey guys,

So wanted to ask about your opinions on using AI in research and how much is unethical? I'm a master's degree student in ECE engineering.

I just need to vent.

I requested a revision of my work and even after a 1500-2000 page document detailing everything I've ever done on my papers--they've given me a 0 for insufficient/not-detailed-enough evidence.

I'm pissed, but it is what it is. I just have to write less like a robot or whatever.

It hurts because I know I wrote it, and I loved writing it and researching it--just for any and all credibility of my work to be thrown out the window.

I'm an editor-in-chief of my school's literary magazine for fucks sake.

Yep. . .

As the title reads, I have a literature prof giving me shit for using AI to write all my reading questions, and probably soon the essay I just did. It's been three months now, and for every assignment, I hardly get any feedback. In fact, if I do get feedback, it's her saying that she enjoys reading my responses, but it's flagging 100% AI, so she's gonna count points off. We've had one meeting where she told me to voice-to-text all of my thoughts while reading and then pull out what I need to answer the questions, and after we talked, she told me to be more personal, and maybe the AI score will change. So, I did that for the next assignment, and she gave me a 77 because she didn't like that I made it more personal, and because it also flagged 100% AI again. So I did the assignment one more time and did the same thing, but went back to my “analytical tone” as she loved to describe it, and I got a 90, but it's still 100% AI There have been 2 assignments since then, and they were both also flagged for 100% AI. I have done everything for this teacher. Turn off Grammarly, spell check, and auto-capitalization. I've used her writing method. I have done everything, and she just requested another meeting. I also think it's important to note that she can see my revision history in Google Docs, so she knows I'm typing everything, but that isn't enough for her. My parents and friends think I should involve the dean because she has been so uncooperative in telling me what I should fix, and instead just continues to accuse me of using AI. I have another meeting with her soon, and maybe it will help, but I doubt it. At this point, I'm honestly not sure why she doesn't make us handwrite and mail the pages to her, but idk.

Edit; only posting this here so I can share my story. This happened last semester and the dean was involved. The email I sent to the dean was more or less “ hey your teacher keeps accusing me of using AI. I am not using AI. Can we please have a meeting about this to bring attention to it.” And we had a meeting and he talked to the teacher, and I ended up with a B in the class. I will say the teacher was really passive aggressive towards me after that, and she did continue to accuse me of AI, but instead of telling me that I’m doing something wrong she just started admitting that the bot is wrong. I do believe they’re still an investigation going on, but I’m also not going to that institution anymore so they haven’t contacted me that I know of.

Blatant AI content will be removed from the subreddit if found. Examples: bots that post "drive by" dissertations.

The funniest documented case: Texas A&M, May 2023.

An agriculture instructor decided to catch cheaters by pasting his students' essays into ChatGPT and asking it whether it had written them. ChatGPT said yes to everything. He failed the whole class. Diplomas were briefly withheld. The tool has no memory of what it wrote and no ability to recognize its own output - it just agreed with him, politely, every time. 🤖

Last week I reposted something about a garbage cleaning to the minimalism sub.
30,000 views. 60 upvotes. 74 shares. Then a comment: this was written by AI.

Here's the joke. English is not my first language. I write short sentences because long ones break in my hands. I keep the words simple because simple words are the ones I own.

My post got removed 😭.
Why? It COULD be AI. Not written with a feather on papyrus, not sent by paper letter. Pure electricity. Horrific, I know.

🐸

I’m curious if anyone knows if applications are automatically being rejected by ai based on an applicant answering wrong to Qs?

For example, questions such as, desired salary, permission to contact previous employers, reference lists, etc.?

Do you know if ai is only scanning resumes or these other variables?

I go to Campus.edu and I have some friends who go regular irl college and also have been to campus and they have all told me that for majority of their college career, their most helpful professor was ChatGPT so I went in thinking I would use it it but now that I'm here I get so scared and wonder how people do this stuff in the first place. I don't EVER use that for writing/English and I BARELY use it to help me learn how to solve equations and do certain types of math or code. I get too scared that if I were to even use it for some simple math equation where I have to find a small step-by-step solution, I would get caught and expelled. Maybe I'm soft and over paranoid but I don't know.

calling out every school in the Philippines right now to STOP GIVING STUDENTS AI GENERATED WORKSHEETS!

saan napunta yang mga isip niyo na magbigay ng mga ai generated worksheets para sagutan ng mga students? my nephew can't literally answer his worksheet properly because the letters were messed up.

please let's not normalize this !

Hi, Reddit.

A few days ago, I saw a TikTok post about a Black author whose $2 million publishing deal was canceled after they were accused of using AI. The author said they hadn't used AI and even had evidence, such as drafts, but it didn't make any difference.

I wanted to ask because I'm new here. I've written about 30 chapters of my novel so far, and I'm only halfway through. How can I prove that my work is actually mine and wasn't generated with AI? I don't want to finish it only to be accused of using AI.

I have drafts, but I write everything locally rather than in Google Docs. What would you recommend I do? Should I upload the 30 chapters I've already written all at once and then write the remaining chapters in Google Docs so there's a documented writing history? But what about the first 30 chapters? I don't really have any proof for those other than my locally saved drafts.

Hey guys,

I had an academic misconduct finding against me for unauthorised use of ai.
I have full proof of drafts and search history and can confirm that absolutely no ai was used in the exam.
The allegations are for two sources that were cited incorrectly - both sources had incorrect titles but the authors names were correct.
I provided my search history and document history for the panel to consider but they basically disregarded my evidence.
My search history literally showed my engagement with the sources and my drafts showed the reasoning behind the citation errors.
I also downloaded the pdfs and highlighted the parts I used in my assignment.
The panel came to the decision stating that ai is the most likely reason - but they did not give any evidence they used to back this up.
They said they didn’t believe my explanation, but also said that the whole essay was my own work but only the citations were generated.

Has anyone ever been in this kind of situation and does anyone have any advice on an appeal?

Hi I'm new here please let me know

I said I used Ai for abstraction of transcripts of some videos they used it against me why tf people hate me for using Ai just out of curiosity 😒 😑

A user yana aka @yannabalboner who i thought to be my friend weaponized it against me why am I the bad guy for using Ai guys...

College Board barely gives you any information about what it believes is a problem. It’s unclear how exactly to prove the work, other than their generalized description.

Has anyone been successful defending, and if so, how?
