AI, Plagiarism, and CYA
Shout-out for all the students gearing up to go back to school in increasingly frustrated times when dealing with all this AI bullshit. As you've probably noticed, lots of institutions have adapted anti-plagiarism software that incorporates AI detectors that - surprise - aren't that great. Many students are catching flack for getting dinged on work that isn't AI generated, and schools are struggling to catch up to craft policies that uphold academic rigor. It sucks for everyone involved!
As a student, it can really feel like you're in a bind, especially if you didn't do anything wrong. Your instructor isn't like to be as tech-savvy as some, and frankly, you might not be as tech-savvy as you think either. The best thing to do, no matter how your school is handling things, is to Cover Your Ass.
Pay attention to the academic policy. Look, I know you probably skimmed the syllabus. Primus knows I did too, but the policy there is the policy the instructor must stick with. If the policy sets down a strong 'don't touch ChatGPT with a ten-foot pole' standard, stick to it. If you get flagged for something you thought was okay because you didn't read the policy carefully, you don't have ground to stand on if you get called out.
Turn off Autosave and save multiple (named) drafts. If you're using Microsoft Word because your school gives you a free license, the handy Autosave feature may be shooting you in the foot when it comes to proving you did the work. I know this seems counter-intuitive, but I've seen this bite enough people in the ass to recommend students go old-school. Keep those "draft 1234" in a file just in case.
Maintaining timestamped, clearly different drafts of a paper can really help you in the long-run. GoogleDocs also goes a much better job of tracking changes to a document, and may be something to consider, however, with all this AI shit, I'm hesitant to recommend Google. Your best bet, overall, is to keep multiple distinctive drafts that prove how your paragraphs evolved from first to final.
Avoid Grammarly, ProWiritingAid, etc. All that handy 'writing tools' software that claims to help shore up your writing aren't doing you any favors. Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and other software throw up immediate flags in AI-detection software. You may have only used it to clean up the grammar and punctuation, but if the AI-detection software says otherwise, you might be screwed. They're not worth using over a basic spell and grammar check in both Word and GoogleDocs can already do.
Cite all citations and save your sources! This is basic paper-writing, but people using ChatGPT for research often neglect to check to make sure it isn't making shit up, and that made up shit is starting to appear on other parts of the internet. Be sure to click through and confirm what you're using for your paper is true. Get your sources and research material from somewhere other than a generative language model, which are known for making shit up. Yes, Wikipedia is a fine place to start and has rigorously maintained sources.
Work with the support your school has available. My biggest mistake in college was not reaching out when I felt like I was drowning, and I know how easy it is to get in you head and not know where to turn when you need more help. But I've since met a great deal of awesome librarians, tutors, and student aid staff that love nothing more to devote their time to student success. Don't wait at the last moment until they're swamped - you can and will succeed if you reach out early and often.
I, frankly, can't wait for all this AI bullshit to melt down in a catastrophic collapse, but in the meantime, take steps to protect yourself.
#frankly AI-checkers are just as bad as AI
Could you please explain what you mean by that? I’ve been using a lot of AI-checkers to make sure I don’t accidentally save AI-generated images on Pinterest.
So I mean this to be mostly about text-based anti-plagiarism software that a lot of schools are using. If you have your own tools that you trust, no worries about those, but AI-checkers used in schools can be just as flawed as AI is, partly because they're also working off of limited datasets and inputs - and because of that, students can be falsely flagged.
ESL speakers in particular can be caught up in being falsely flagged as having written AI content, but so can anyone. It just comes down to the skill of your educators to make the right call.
That's why it's important to build up proof on your own behalf that you wrote a paper yourself - being able to trace from first draft to second to a finished product is going to work in your favor. Hand-writing is also something you can use - which I know, sucks if you're bad at it, but being able to produce a handwritten outline is still one more tool on your side.
Now, can a student use ChatGPT to fake all of this? Sure, but if you're putting more effort into cheating than actually doing the work, you're just undermining yourself. At the end of the day, being someone who can show up with skills you've learned versus some half-false notions an AI tool spat out is the better place to be.

Welcome writers, to round 3 of the zouisfest! Sign-ups are now officially opened!
As a quick reminder, here are the most important rules (for the full list of rules, click here):
the main pairing has to be Zouis (Zayn/Louis). This can be a romantic, queerplatonic or non-romantic pairing.
you may claim a prompt from our prompt list or choose to write your own prompt
there is no minimum or maximum wordcount
fics must be completed by the time of posting
Thank you to everyone who has submitted prompts, and thank you to E for letting us use the prompts from previous rounds. You can find the link to all the submitted prompts here.
Once you've picked your top 3 prompts, you can fill in the form here. We ask you to pick 3 prompts solely for the small chance that your prompt has already been picked, as we work on a first come, first serve basis and we cannot guarantee that we can stay completely up to date with the sign-ups. We will however try our best to get back to you asap!
Once you've received your confirmation, you're officially signed up and will have until July 28th to complete your fic.
We cannot wait to bring the fandom more zouis-centered fics, and we hope you're as excited as we are!
Do you make physical fan crafts of some kind? Then don't forget about the FTH Fan Crafts Bazaar!
We limit the main auction to items that can be digitally delivered only, for a variety of reasons, but for those who want to put their craftiness in the actual 3D world to work to raise money, we have the Fan Crafts Bazaar!
You choose how you run your Bazaar stall - how you set up your stall, whether you're offering premade or custom-made items, whether you auction them or list them at a set price. Our only requirement is that, just like in the main auction, all donations go directly to one of our organizations rather than to you (or us, or anyone else).
Read all about it here, then sign up here - signups will continue until the main auction opens for bidding (Feb 25), and you can keep your craft stall open for a few days after the auction ends... just in case any bidders out there have money left over from the auctions they didn't win.
We've got 12 craft stalls so far, offering a variety of crafts:
Bookbinding
Amigurumi
Sewn stuffed toys
Custom stamps
Needlework
What can you add to the list? Previous years we've had stickers, suncatchers, jewelry, ceramics, keychains, prints, cloth bags, wooden figures, and much more!
Did you know you can offer digital items in the crafts bazaar too?
If you have digital fanworks that would not be custom-made, as items for the main auction are, this is the place for them! In past years we've had digital coloring books and planner pages!
We are up to 21 crafters - and it's not too late to add your name to the list! Signups for the Fan Crafts Bazaar are open until February 25!
Remember, if you're waiting to sign up until you've got your stall all set up, crafter signups will be open until Feb 25!
hey guys, should i stay up all night and jump around until i see the sun? should i stay up all night and find a girl and tell her she's the one?
I'm opening a commissions sale until December 15 (or earlier depending on the requests) to cover some expenses, keeping it pretty basic and simple.
a reblog could really help <3
