Ellison told her in an email that “the entire paper except for the last couple of sentences” had been flagged as AI-generated and said he confirmed this “through another app.”
He is accusing her of using software to do her job for her. Meanwhile he is using software to do his job for him. I doubt these apps cite any source of her plagiarism. They probably give some nonsense score that is unverifiable. Two pieces of software told him her paper is plagiarized, so he gave her a 0, accused her of cheating, and cost her her scholarship without any proof.
Correction. Not without any proof, but with proof submitted by AI. Yes, that is every bit as damming as it is made out to be.
two pieces of software
I guarantee that it was actually one piece of software ran twice. Here is the real problem: there are published standards on English composition. Language models (what idiots call AI) will use these composition models to frame their sentences, as if they were a published professor of an English composition class.
Therefore, it is possible that a college student who took a course in English Composition (as required in virtually all general education tracks) could produce language similar to a language model constructed from model language. The editing pass suggested by grammarly is merely a cherry on top.
I doubt these apps cite any source of her plagiarism. They probably give some nonsense score that is unverifiable.
Right on point. A machine is unaccountable, therefore it shall not make decisions.
I want to believe her... but fucked professor did this grade based on use of ai
