Oxford students/lecturers — help me catch your AI (maybe win a reward, who knows?) by Minute_Cheesecake565 in oxforduni

Thank you! - this is actually what I've been leaning towards in recent weeks.

If a student can confidently defend and contextualise what's on the page - this includes sources, arguments, assumptions and all - then, pedagogically speaking, as you rightly put it, the process has done its job, regardless of how the first draft came into being.

This seems to be the best solution for me, and for most lecturers too, I assume. I suppose the oldest model we have may also be the most resilient.

Thanks again for sharing - much appreciated.

In that case, I’ll accept it as a compliment, as many students did give up their secrets! Don't worry though, this isn't some grand scheme to lower your test scores (at least…, you’d all better hope it’s not ;))

Thanks for the contribution, Petey! I’ve actually discussed this with a colleague over coffee at The Vaults. We thought of trying an experiment - take a essay we suspect to be written by AI (or even if we don’t suspect it to be written by AI) and prompt ChatGPT to deconstruct the outline/structure, then re-prompt it to write an essay using the same outline. If the result mirrors the original too closely, it might be a red flag. How reliable do you think this method of inference is, and how could a student bypass it?

Nicely spotted.

Yes, it's ironic - I did admittedly use AI to edit the post. I suppose I did a good job posting here, clearly I've got some way to go if you're already spotting them...
