    I witnessed an interaction where a grad school professor used AI detector and threatened to fail a student for submitting “AI generated” paper. It was so stupid, even after showing them how if you just add a few spelling mistakes the detection says human written, or even putting their own email in AI detector to show an example. It’s like the saying “little knowledge is dangerous”

      When I was at university I was pretty belligerent and if a professor tried that on me I’d have reported them for academic misconduct. They should be grading in the damn papers themselves, if they’re not going to do that then what is the point in them?
