@ia Writer new feature of keep in track of AI generated text is interesting (but won't do much for me because I am against using unethical tools build of stolen material). Instead, as #plagiarism is trending on YouTube, I wonder if they will ever implement a good citation feature to help with proper referencing.
I love iA Writer, but I find kind of sad that we're more worried on citing a machine, than implementing fair creative practices first, like citing your sources properly @academicchatter
My audience is probably too old to be the main target demographic of #JamesSomerton's videos but it's still worth checking out #hbomberguy's video detailing his shameless plagiarism:
As AI tools for writing become more common, let me throw one more worry into the mix: Students who write well without AI assistance may be falsely accused of #plagiarism by teachers using imperfect tools to detect AI-assisted writing.
"Five high school students helped our tech columnist test a #ChatGPT detector coming from #Turnitin to 2.1 million teachers. It missed enough to get someone in trouble."
Update. Of course teachers sometimes make false accusations of #plagiarism even without relying on imperfect tools. Now that they're on the lookout for #AI-generated submissions, the rate might increase.
New study: "When given a mixture of original and general abstracts, blinded human reviewers correctly identified 68% of generated abstracts as…generated by ChatGPT, but incorrectly identified 14% of original abstracts as being generated." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-023-00819-6
