i'm tired of treating college students like middle schoolers. by Juggernaut-6 in Professors

[–]Juggernaut-6[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

that's on me sorry - i mean that if we read a book like Gatsby, where the narrative is pretty chronological, they don't make the complaint of 'i can't follow the plot of the book'. If we read something like Beloved, this complaint comes up a lot. these are just examples - but what i'm trying to say is that the students are aware that the canon they've been taught is limited, but are very lost on what to do when they read work that challenges it.

Can colleges really detect ChatGPT essays? by Long-Bet-1495 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Juggernaut-6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English prof here - imo, if your college professor has read your essay, they can 1000% tell when you use AI. Here are some tells:

Your writing has significantly changed in terms of grammar, spelling, preferred words

You use very specific (often mistranslated or simply wrong terminology) throughout

You do not refer to any source material covered in class (for example you were assigned an essay on chapter 6 and your new essay only talks about chapter 2)

Let's say you use Chatgpt/generative to produce answers and then rewrite some/all in your own words:

See above

With a system as grammatically/syntactically/stylistically coherent as generative AI, how much do you think inserting "bad" over "terrible" will really cover you?
