 Students Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Do Homework for Them

by Jillian Drummond

    Currently, teachers across the world are struggling with this new technology in a whole different aspect than the rest of us, which is teaching their students. Many programs have emerged with the development of AI, including programs that can write essays while dodging plagiarism filters. 

    The top three programs in the field are Textero.AI, Jasper AI, and Copy AI. These types of programs are meant to write for you in an academic style and are marketed with questionable phrases including "plagiarism-free".

    This has introduced teachers (who already do not get paid nearly enough) to a whole new and unique obstacle. 

    Sure, there are now programs that schools and universities have found that can predict the likelihood of essays being written with AI— but how credible are those programs... that are also based on using AI?

    The leader of the AI-detection programs is Winston AI, which claims to have a 99.6% accuracy rate. But the grey line lies in that programs like Winston AI are only accurate when not proofread and not slightly changed by the person who used the essay-writing AI program. 
    
    So with a little tweaking of words and phrasing, students are able to manipulate their way around these AI-detection systems. Until we can find a way to effectively combat this major issue in our education system, we are back to square one.

    This is a major issue for professors and teachers. My First Year Writing professor had a paper that was written by AI, put through an AI checker, and then tweaked to make it seem like it was made with AI and she was able to recreate almost the exact same paper. It is certainly possible to detect, but it wastes the professor's time, who is already incredibly busy with teaching and grading, and it's an incredibly lazy way to "do" an assignment instead of actually getting it done.

 Artificial Intelligence's Bright Exterior has Dark Interior Motives by Jillian Drummond          The creators of artificial intelligence programs have gotten the world in an uproar about AI. They claim it can do a number of life-changing tasks with the help of their new technology. However, many artists have been wondering what these changes could mean for them and their careers.          Generative AI like ChatGPT claims to be able to write music and essays, manipulate media files, and much more all within seconds. For artists who have spent their whole lives perfecting their craft, this can be a little intimidating.  Image: Shutterstock     Being an artist is already enough of a challenge to try and  make a living off of, and with robots emerging in the artistic arena— you can bet it will only get much harder. A Forbes article recently tells of a work of art created by AI that even won an award at a state fa...

Can Artificial Intelligence Match Human Creativity?

 Can Artificial Intelligence Match Human Creativity? by Jillian Drummond     Many people across the world are concerned with the potential capabilities of artificial  intelligence at the rate they are evolving. Even back in 2014, big names in science like Steven Hawking and Elon Musk warned about the potential destruction AI could cause. Read more about that here .     The underlying problem with artificial intelligence is that these programs are trained on existing data and records. So, when fed more and more data, these AI programs only get stronger and more accurate, whereas humans are much more limited.  Human vs AI Artworks | Credit: Harsha Gangadharbatla, Empirical Studies of the Arts     But, is it just a new arrangement of previous works that these programs have scrapped? Or is it really a "new" work of art?     The answer is fairly simple... so far. Nothing technically "new" is being created.  Humankind's creativity is...
