Assuming you're the founder, this is the type of BS comment that makes the rest of us hate AI founders.

It's vacuous, makes vague claims that don't leave room for proof/disproof, and doesn't offer any reason that it's any better than a prompt that asks GPT4o "was this generated by AI y/n"

I am not the founder. Also I pointed out they track user actions and keystrokes and analyze them, which is clearly distinct from just pasting the students work into an LLM and asking if it was generated by AI. I'll go further to say that they can tell if the student left the browser window and for how long. Also natural essay writing patterns are different than transcribing something from another source. I'm pretty sure they have more methods but I don't remember them all.

Your comment is full of unnecessary animosity and resentment and I think it is inappropriate.

I know the founders and I also know they have very happy customers.

Just because you have experienced some vapor ware startups or whatever doesn't mean every company is one...

I shared it with the OP because it sounds like they care about the problem the product solves.

Lastly, I want you remind you that the very first line in the community guidelines is "Be kind. Don't be snarky". I find your comment both unkind and snarky.
