For the topic of Can Universities Detect ChatGPT? Yes And No!, the trend of AI has been rapidly growing in the past year, with one of its common uses being to write papers and assignments. This has caused worry among many educational institutions and also their professors, as this may not always help students to enhance their own critical thinking or writing skills. To answer the question, universities may be able to detect the use of ChatGPT for assignments, but this isn’t guaranteed.
AI detection tools are available and can help universities to detect if ChatGPT was used. However, these tools presently aren’t reliable, as they may inaccurately identify human-written work as AI-generated content and may not accurately detect short sentences. There is potential for improvement and these tools may become more useful in the future, so students should be aware of this risk. If a professor suspects that a student has used ChatGPT, they may try to detect similar phrases and writing patterns, as well as a randomness and “Burstiness” in writing that may indicate ChatGPT. Additionally, they may compare the work submitted by a student to work generated by ChatGPT.
When it comes to ChatGPT being used for programming codes, AI detector tools are not reliable in identifying AI-generated codes. However, if a professor suspects that code is generated from ChatGPT, they may try creating codes from ChatGPT themselves and compare the work of the student with the same ones to identify ChatGPT’s usage.
Overall, universities can and may employ AI detector tools to detect the use of ChatGPT in assignments. However, as mentioned earlier, these tools may not be reliable at times. Students should entertain the thought of using ChatGPT at their own risk and may be aware of the potential risks that accompany it.
