My wife teaches at a university. The title is partly bullshit:
For most teachers it couldn't be more obvious who used ChatGPT in an assignment and who didn't.
The problem, in most instances, isn't the "figuring out" part, but the "reasonably proving" part.
And that's the most frustrating part: you know an assignment was AI-written, there are no tools to prove it and the university gives its staff virtually no guidance or assistance on the subject matter, so you're almost powerless.
To add on to the detection issues, international students, students on the spectrum, students with learning disability, … can all be subject to being flagged as “AI generated” by AI detectors. Teachers/professors who have gut feelings should (1) re-consider what biases they have in expected writing styles, and (2), like u/mind says, check in with the students.
