    Font - r/ChatGPT Posted by u/The-Rice-Boi 1 day ago My teacher has falsely accused me of using ChatGPT to use an assignment. Other My highschool history teacher has accused me of using ChatGPT to complete an assignment. He claims he ran my paper through an AI detector (apparently the school is not allowed to disclose what detector they use) and it came back AI-generated. He didn't even tell me what got flagged, but I suspect it may be the first paragraph because 2-3 online detectors said it was

    Font - I have shown my version history on google docs to my teacher, but he still does not believe me because the version history at some points only accounted for chunks of 1 sentence, sometimes 2 sentences, so he believes it was copy and pasted from ChatGPT. Additionally, the teacher successfully caught a couple other students using the detector. Those students later admitted to him that they did use ChatGPT. How can I prove my innocence?

However, here are some general steps you can take to prove your innocence in this situation: 1. Explain your process: Provide a detailed account of how you researched and wrote your paper.

Show your research: If you used online sources for your paper, provide a list of the websites, books, or articles you used, along with the specific information you gathered from each source.

    Font - OstSyl 23 hr. ago The media is going to love your story. Just reach out. Even if your "teacher" digs in, that in itself will be an invaluable learning experience. And what's with this "training" claim? Sounds like they've been scammed and don't want to admit it. Because: what training could there be on technology that doesn't work?

    Font - GreenLurka 1 day ago Your teacher is an ignorant f I am a teacher. Many AI detectors are simply declaring things the work of AI for using formal language. Demand some sort of peer reviewed study into the efficacy of their AI detector. What rate is it correct? Get your parents involved. Their word has more weight then yours (assuming highschool)
