Guides: John B. Coleman Library Course: Introduction to Academic Integrity Workshop: Artificial Intelligence: GPT and Higher Education

“Students are using AI to write their papers, because of course they are.

“Students are using AI to write their papers, because of course they are.
So says the title of a recent article in Vice that has been making the rounds at Temple. The article describes a new tool called Open Ai Playground, that generates text on demand. Playground uses GPT-3, a newly developed machine-learning algorithm, to compose the text. GPT-3 is also the power behind Shortly-Ai, another text-generation tool offering a somewhat different set of features. The sentences generated by both programs are surprisingly good – they flow, and they have clear and simple prose style. A student could theoretically type their essay prompt into Playground or Shortly, and the program would generate the essay for them. And because the sentences produced by GPT-3 are entirely original, the resulting text would not be flagged by a plagiarism detector like Turnitin.

Hallucinating Artificial Intelligence

What is AI Hallucination? What Goes Wrong with AI Chatbots? How to Spot a Hallucinating Artificial Intelligence?
AI hallucination is not a new problem. Artificial intelligence (AI) has made considerable advances over the past few years, becoming more proficient at activities previously only performed by humans. Yet, hallucination is a problem that has become a big obstacle for AI. Developers have cautioned against AI models producing wholly false facts and replying to questions with made-up replies as though they were true. As it can jeopardize the applications’ accuracy, dependability, and trustworthiness, hallucination is a serious barrier to developing and deploying AI systems. As a result, those working in AI are actively looking for solutions to this problem. This blog will explore the implications and effects of AI hallucinations and possible measures users might take to reduce the dangers of accepting or disseminating incorrect information.

ChatGPT Is Making Universities Rethink Plagiarism

ChatGPT Is Making Universities Rethink Plagiarism
ACCORDING TO CHATGPT, the definition of plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s work or ideas without giving proper credit to the original author. But when the work is generated by something rather than someone, this definition is tricky to apply. As Emily Hipchen, a board member of Brown University’s Academic Code Committee, puts it, the use of generative AI by students leads to a critical point of contention. “If [plagiarism] is stealing from a person,” she says, “then I don’t know that we have a person who is being stolen from.”

AI-assisted plagiarism? ChatGPT bot says it has an answer for that
ChatGPT, an AI-based text generator that was released for public use in early December, has been praised and criticised alike for the quality of its output. Users can ask it questions ranging from simple factual queries (“What is the tallest mountain in Britain?”) to absurd requests (“Write a limerick explaining the offside rule”) and receive clear and coherent responses written in natural English.

Headteachers and university lecturers have expressed concerns that ChatGPT, which can provide convincing human-sounding answers to exam questions, could spark a wave of cheating in homework and exam coursework.
