If you're just going to use software to judge the output of students then why don't we all just keep them at home? I have a computer at home and it seems like everyone from the teachers to the school board have just abdicated their responsibility. This doesn't sound like a system that needs to be maintained.

Right? It’s the obvious question:

why are they using software to detect software?

I can detect AI written prose in less than five seconds; I would expect a trained teacher to be able to do that as well.

You know you can't just say "I detect AI written prose" and then do whatever you want about it, right? It's not difficult, sure, to detect it. It's difficult to prove that it's true and then punish the student for it.

It's very easy to convince yourself it's true and then hand out punishment like it was on sale.

I suppose the hard part then is sitting through 26 grade appeals.
