With AI on the rise, it’s difficult to tell what’s real and what’s not. There are some content, for example, images, videos and writings that are obviously AI, but some, not so much. Is it really getting that advanced? As I am writing this, I’m using a very casual tone. So, if I put it in an AI detection post, I should I expect 0%, right? RIGHT!

Of course, I’m right. That’s because this is the most casual tone I am writing in. Are we going to write academic papers like this? Nope.

As a college student, how do you protect yourself from being accused of using AI when all you did was work with a tutor? I suggested a student of mine (whose second language is English), take our essay to the writing center at your school and if your teacher accuses you of AI, tell them you just went to the writing center.

Why are we “blaming” the writing center? Beacuse the school’s blaming the student when all he did was… hire a tutor.

Notes

1. This is the most casual I can be without typing in “dude,” “like,” in random places and phrases like “yeah, no” to mean no… and “no, yeah…” to mean yes. California, right? Gotta prove I’m not AI, amiright?

2. Yes, this style was intentional. No, this isn’t how I usually write. And if you’re a parent or student wondering whether this is how I tutor—rest assured, it’s not!

3. As of this posting, the professor/school has not accused the student of AI– the AI detector accused him of it. I’ll keep you updated… (see how casual that sounded?)
