Christopher Ostro shares a big picture look at AI detection tools on episode 555 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
I think there are tons of students I interact with who are really just curious and trying to use these tools to dig deeper.
I want them getting practice on these things that are going to be part of their future careers and lives. I love that my classroom is a stage for that.
I think AI detection has a place, but its place is limited. I don’t think it should ever be the sole reason a student is getting honor coded.
I love to tell my students if all you’re doing with these tools is taking the output and submitting as your own work, you don’t have a job.
