Can a uni reliably say someone has used ai to create their work?

[Unissss]

i personally don’t see how tbh

I am. Because I believe in academic integrity, working for a degree not buying one, and I resented time being taken out of my busy day to sit on panels dealing with people who thought they could cheat. As I said, there were cases where no further action was taken where evidence of the work was produced. I do not believe this to be such a case.

How do you know what it would have said if you'd asked it that?

Why don’t you? When you’ve not seen the work

Plagiarism was always a serious academic no-no at university when I went over 20 years ago. It must be a nightmare for the staff these days with AI. Definitely different from copying a few paragraphs from books in the library though 😬😳

Because you are conveniently unable to produce any drafts and saved versions via autosave, which PowerPoint would also do, to show that you did the work.

Because you ignored everyone telling you the very simple ways to prove that you did the work, then you said that you “don’t know how to find that” and you’ve ignored being told to google how to access previous save history.

It really is very easy for you to show that you made those slides by showing them your history, showing them your original slides and then showing them the slides corrected by AI. If all you did was change the spelling, then you can easily show that.

You’re ignoring that and now you’re saying that you won’t even bother going to the meeting. It is so very obvious that you don’t want to go because you don’t have the slides to prove it because you didn’t write them.

We had a hilarious one when I worked at Trinity Laban, someone copied an example from a book, didn't cite it, and left the typo in, the marker was the book author....(who was still fuming about the typo).

I think your title being basically 'can they prove it' rather than 'I've been accused of this and don't get why' is also a bit of a tell tbh

No, I'm afraid AI does routinely ask if you'd like it to 'make it more formal/academic/etc' even if you've got it to do the whole task for you, not just if you've asked it to check your SPG.

There we go

Doesn’t when you clearly ask it to only change spelling and grammar.

How do I do it then and will do it?

I don't know. But once my essay at university got flagged as "plagiarising" another student's essay on the same topic and downgraded as a result, using some plagiarism detection software they had.

I absolutely hadn't plagiarised or even seen any other students essay on the topic, so it must have been a coincidence. Really pissed me off and made me realise that this software can always be faulty.

I don’t know how to do it

Look it up on Google. Jesus.

Also, I'm not sure what you were trying to prove by running my post through AI other than that it prefers an em dash and I don't.

Very odd behaviour.

ask AI

You’re an adult. Google how and figure it out.

The version I use does!

I was doing minutes of a meeting last week and put the PP presentation given at the meeting through AI and asked it to make it into minutes for me. It did and then asked if I wanted it more or less formal, or more brief.

I'm beginning to doubt it, running my post through AI was the equivalent of yanking my plaits in the playground.

AI will not end well for humanity. The demise of an ability to think coherently, be articulate, edit well... meh.

Just let the bots do it. We are all buggered anyway, so they might as well speed it up a bit!

Yes to show the difference in the prompts…which is the point I’m trying to make doesn’t need to be made in. Childish way.

What else would I be able to use to show you the difference in the prompts being as you are adamant I’m a lair.

Have you looked up how to check your previously saved versions yet? Took me less than 30 seconds to remind myself how to do it.

Just out of interest, OP, what degree is it? (Sorry if you said this already).

But you’ve sort of proved that you did use AI for more than spelling.

You’re saying that if you ask if to only check spelling and not change anything, then it will not follow up with a new prompt offering to rewrite it another way. But yours did… your slides had a prompt offering to make it more academic or whatever. It wouldn’t have done that if you only asked for spelling help, that’s what you’re saying here. So… you asked for more? You asked it to re-write your slides, it did and offered another rewrite in a different style. Yes?
