I and my team ran into a quandary over our work with a student and their papers constantly getting flagged for AI or plagiarism via "TurnitIn" an AI detection ap added to the Canvas LMS system.

First, I got mad. I said "how on earth could this work be cheating?!!!"

Then I looked deep into the last doc. Then I dug deeper. It led me to a Cliff Notes style site called "Schmoop" much like the "Chegg" site that has been in use for over 15 years and predates AI parsing or AI generation of content.

AI detection has trained off of Chegg and Schmoop and it's parsing off of it for results. It's also trained off of every paper ever submitted to its LMS partners. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Ai detection software in using AI has created a "mathematical singularity" which is basically an infinite calculation. 10000000 versions of an essay required by Simon and Schuster's "American Literature" curriculum 15th edition on "Themes in "The Color Purple" are out there with a million other data singularities with infinity creating the possibility of "AI detection" and "Plagiarism" detection software to continually and repeatedly get hits on as copies.

BILLLLIONS of stars!

(Data) I mean assignments turned on the same subjects from the same lesson plans on LMS like Canvas and Blackboard, plus everything previously uploaded to the cloud in databases, archives, and cloud servers used to train AI.

You can't detect plagiarism when it is just an inevitability that the same assignments have the same answers! And the million students who answered them online eventually hit a statistical point where ANY answer is plagiarism or ai.

And how does a student personalize a rote answer without losing points to avoid that?

And why are we immediately blaming and punishing them off of this undeveloped, not fully tested system when there is a HUGE standard curriculum and learning artifact singularity.

Made sourdough bagels (three of which were already eaten by the time I remembered I wanted to take a pic) and hot chocolate.

I'm logged in... and now to crochet!
