The article explores how college students are increasingly using AI technology to cheat on essays, with some adding typos or simplifying language to bypass detection measures. Creative strategies have emerged, such as prompting chatbots to produce less sophisticated writing. As concerns grow among educators about this trend, students express a desire for easier solutions to assignment pressures. One student emphasized the lengths to which peers go to manipulate AI systems to obscure their use, suggesting a significant shift in academic integrity.
"You put a prompt in ChatGPT, then put the output into another AI system, then put it into another AI system. At that point, if you put it into an AI-detection system, it decreases the percentage of AI used every time."
"They're using AI because it's a simple solution and it's an easy way for them not to put in time writing essays. And I get it, because I hated writing essays when I was in school."
