When one unlocks the power of AI and enters the realm of its wonders, there is no turning back. Unfortunately, sometimes the result is not what was expected. Such a case happened when a student turned to ChatGPT to write an essay about William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The student likely failed to check their assignment before submitting and the first few lines gave an obvious hint of their cheating. As a result, people took to twitter to express their surprise on how the student could be so careless.
One user stated how the use of AI will continue to increase and AI models will improve. This might cause headaches for teachers to figure out who’s cheating and it is difficult for them to tell the difference between a human-written and machine-written essay.
Others pointed out that it was likely due to a badly written prompt. It has also been made clear that teachers might make use of the same AI to identify cheating among students. This was proven when a college student in South Carolina was caught using an AI to write their take-home test. As a result, the student was punished and failed the class.
In this digital age, where information and services are easily accessible, it is important to be careful with what we use and not to rely heavily on technology. This holds true to ensure that everything is done correctly and properly. In addition, sufficient research should be done prior to using any services, especially AI. Doing so, many of the unfortunate incidents can be avoided.
