Colleges and universities renew Turnitin subscriptions year after year even though its flawed detectors are expensive and require students to let the company keep their papers forever.
Colleges are about 50 years behind the rest of the world in technology adoption. Buying an AI detection system isn’t bringing them into the future - it’s holding them back. Rather than slavishly obsessing over undergrads’ essay writing abilities, lesson plans should be more individualized so that essay writing en-masse is a moot point. Any essay you write would be self-motivated rather than forced.
