💬 Quoted… “I copy and paste your responses in [ChatGPT] and [it] will tell me if the program generated the content.”

This week, a number of seniors at Texas A&M University–Commerce who had already walked the stage at graduation were temporarily denied their diplomas, after a professor wrongly accused his entire class of using ChatGPT to write their final assignments.

• In an email to his class, the professor said he’d put their papers through ChatGPT and asked the chatbot whether it had created the work – and ChatGPT claimed to have authored every single one.
• But many students have pushed back on the professor’s claims, saying he clearly misused the software, since it isn’t even capable of detecting such material (and will claim to have authored just about anything).
