As Ian Bogost, a professor of film and media and computer science at Washington University, puts it: If the first year of AI college ended in a feeling of dismay, the situation has now devolved into absurdism. Teachers struggle to continue teaching even as they wonder whether they are grading students or computers...an endless AI cheating and detection arms race plays out in the background.
The Wall Street Journal reported recently that OpenAI has a method to reliably detect when someone uses ChatGPT to write an essay or research paper. The company hasn't released it despite widespread concerns about students using artificial intelligence to cheat.
Clearly they haven't read the Association for Computing Machinery's statement on principles for the development of systems to detect generative AI content, which says: reliably detecting the output of generative AI systems without an embedded watermark is beyond the current state of the art.
As Alison Gopnik puts it, LLMs are cultural technologies, like writing, print, libraries tools for human augmentation, not replacement LLMs are a burning issue for the humanities in particular because the essay is such a key pedagogical tool for teaching students.
