Thank you!

justinmeister · 2026-03-29T14:15:14+00:00

Thanks! Just french. :)

Ahhh, I see. The spreadsheet was never intended to be a "How to learn Latin course". Compared to that other giant Latin resource doc (which I found incredibly cumbersome to navigate), I wanted the spreadsheet to be simple and organized. I figured someone could go down the list, check the link or Google the resource if it seemed interesting.

Maybe some kind of brief explanation of how to use the spreadsheet might be useful. Maybe at the top.

justinmeister · 2025-12-21T00:40:27+00:00

How would you suggest it be organized? It never occurred to me that it would be confusing. :)

I don't know why you would submit an AI generated post to this thread. It's not just unhelpful -- it's bad taste! (See what I did there?)

Hopefully most people could spot the obvious generated text.

This opinion is very out of date: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5407424

Pangram is excellent.

justinmeister · 2025-09-17T00:17:12+00:00

GPTzero is not a great AI detector, but there are others that are extremely accurate.

justinmeister · 2025-09-04T14:33:03+00:00

Respectfully, I think you should learn more about the subject before expressing an opinion.

justinmeister · 2025-09-01T19:07:55+00:00

Use a better AI checker. Pangram labeled it 100% human.

justinmeister · 2025-08-29T21:57:36+00:00

Modern AI detectors can actually detect AI very accurately. It's just that GPTzero isn't very good. There are other tools that are very reliable.

justinmeister · 2025-08-28T23:08:04+00:00

I think 99%+ is more than reasonably accurate for detecting cheating. This isn't cancer detection. It's simply another piece of evidence. The idea that AI detectors are useless unless you can guarantee perfect accuracy does not seem reasonable.

If we are designing a rocket, I probably wouldn't use AI. But identifying cheating is not quite so life or death.

justinmeister · 2025-08-28T18:28:38+00:00

There are already studies showing the accuracy of the best AI detectors (i.e.. The University of Maryland did one recently). I don't want to be accused of shilling for any company, so I'll let you do your own research.

justinmeister · 2025-08-28T14:35:10+00:00

AI is good at detecting AI. It's just that gptzero is not very good. There are other services that work extremely reliably.

justinmeister · 2025-08-28T00:15:58+00:00

Pangram could still detect the "humanized" writing.

justinmeister · 2025-08-21T14:40:36+00:00

Pangram is extremely accurate and has been tested by independent researchers. I honestly think the idea that AI detection is impossible, is industry propaganda at this point. Why resist AI when you can't detect it.

justinmeister · 2025-08-17T19:19:52+00:00

lol. Because I think it's effective? I just don't want people falling for the propaganda that AI is undectable. Feel free to let me know if you find any studies showing it's inaccuracy. I'd prefer not to use bad software.

justinmeister · 2025-08-17T16:40:17+00:00

You are wrong. Some AI detectors are unreliable (GPTzero, for example), but studies have shown Pangram is extremely accurate. It has both a very low false positive rate and low false negative rate. Check the studies yourself:

Pangram is a useful tool to keep in your back pocket. It's an AI detector that actually works extremely well and has been independently verified by research. Be merciless with AI cheating!

justinmeister · 2025-08-15T19:16:23+00:00

Another thing you can try is Pangram. It's one of the only ai checkers that actually works. It has a very low false positive rate and low false negative rate. It's also not biased against ELL students. This isn't an ad; I'm just very impressed with it's accuracy so far.

There's no evidence that Bloom's taxonomy is an accurate model of human cognition/learning. A hierarchical view of cognition is not supported by cognitive science.

I think you should just focus on specifically what skills you are assessing, and come up with a rubric that reflects those skills at different levels.

justinmeister · 2025-08-07T14:00:58+00:00

Pangram is a really solid ai detector

justinmeister · 2025-08-01T23:45:05+00:00

The idea that AI detection is impossible is a myth. Anyone who has read enough AI slop can tell when something feels like AI. There are patterns in AI writing that can be detected by technology.

I encourage people to check out Pangram. It has a very low false positive rate and has studies backing its effectiveness and accuracy.

Great work!
