My university uses AI detectors when marking papers, and almost any result higher than 0% can cause lost grades. As anyone whose used one of these tools will know, they have an extremely high false positive rate, meaning that while I don’t use AI (and can’t, given the technical nature of the papers) I still lose marks. Is there any way to decrease the rate of false positives without completely destroying the structure and flow of a paper?
I does create friction for the person who has to enter it into the checker though
“I can’t read this kid’s handwriting… Did he write an em dash?”
I do.
They can just use an AI OCR tool to scan it
