When I asked ChatGPT about the assignments submitted by students, 'Is it written by AI?'



In recent years, the progress of AI that generates sentences and images has been remarkable, and in a survey conducted at the prestigious Stanford University in the United

States, about 17% of students answered that they use ChatGPT for assignments or exams. I already know. Amidst the search for ways to detect reports and assignments generated using AI, Dr. Jared Mumm , who teaches agricultural sciences at Texas A&M University at Commerce , has sent essays submitted by students to ChatGPT. It was reported that more than half of the students were in danger of failing because they answered 'AI wrote it' when I asked 'Is this written by AI?'

On May 15, 2023, a Reddit user named DearKick posted a screenshot of an email his fiancée, a Texas A&M University Commerce student, received from Dr. Mumm, the teacher in charge of the class. Dr. Mumm wrote, ``If you copy and paste your answer into Chat GTP (original mom), it will tell you whether the program generated the content,'' and entered the student's essay into ChatGPT, He explained that he asked if the essay was generated by ChatGPT.

As a result of investigating with this method, ChatGPT answered that many essays were 'generated by the program'. Dr. Mumm withheld credit from more than half of the 20+ students who were suspected of using ChatGPT to generate essays and asked them to submit additional assignments. All of the students are scheduled to graduate from Texas A & M University Commerce this year, and despite attending the graduation ceremony held on May 14, the awarding of their diplomas is pending.

However, it has been pointed out that ChatGPT does not have the function of ``distinguishing whether a sentence is generated by ChatGPT or AI'' in the first place, and the check itself performed by Dr. Mumm is problematic. Although tools have been developed to detect sentences generated by AI, these tools carry the risk of false positives and are not always accurate.

In fact, when a Reddit user entered an email or paper written by Dr. Mumm into ChatGPT and asked, ``Did you (ChatGPT) write this?'', ``Yes, I wrote that sentence. It is also reported that ChatGPT replied.

Also, Dr. Mumm consistently writes 'Chat GTP' in the email, but the correct spelling is 'ChatGPT', and it is also pointed out that Dr. Mumm may not be very familiar with ChatGPT.

DearKick told tech media PCMag, ``This situation has happened to my fiancée and her classmates, a total of 14 people. She contacted me and was upset, especially since she had never heard of ChatGPT before.'

DearKick's fiancé met with the university's director of agricultural sciences on May 16 to complain about the situation, and several students used Google Docs timestamps to prove that they wrote the essay. DearKick explained that some students have already received an apology from Dr. Mumm. However, at least two students admitted to using ChatGPT during the semester, which further complicates the problem.



Texas A&M University Commerce sent a statement to overseas media Rolling Stone and PCMag on May 17. 'A&M University-Commerce has confirmed that no students have dropped credit or been barred from graduating because of this issue,' said Dr. Jared Mumm, the class's instructor, regarding the final written assignment. I'm working with students individually, and some students will have time to determine if AI was used to create the assignment, and if so, to what level I received a temporary grade of 'X', which means '.

Some students have already been cleared of doubt and given grades, but some students have admitted to using ChatGPT and others have agreed to submit additional assignments. Texas A&M University Commerce said, 'University officials are investigating this matter and developing policies to address the use or misuse of AI technology in the classroom.' To that end, we are also working to adopt AI detection tools and more.The use of AI in the classroom is a rapidly changing problem facing all learning institutions.'
