booping someone numerous times when they only booped you once feels like this

I hate so much that professors who still can't figure out how to send messages on Zoom think they're capable of spotting AI writing. Professors are just feeding essays into AI detectors with massive fail rates with absolutely zero critical thought about the tools they're using. I moved across state lines. I've spent years of my life trying to get this degree. But at any moment I could be expelled because I got a false positive from a detector that tells you ChatGPT wrote Anna Karenina.

#I Kinda feel like there must be more scrutiny to this to ensure student safety from being wrongfully accused without definitive proof

My friend was placed on academic probation because their essay tripped the automated AI detectors. His probation only lasted until the humans in the community standards office made time to manually review his essay -- that wound up being sixteen whole days.

There's a scholarship for our school's study abroad program, but you can't apply if you're on probation. And there's a strict deadline. My friend wasn't able to apply, even though he would have been perfect for the program, because the mindless program started beeping, and the humans in charge didn't care enough to come check until after the scholarship deadline had already passed. He can't afford to go on his own. This likely means he won't be able to attend classes during the summer even domestically, which means he won't earn credits during those three months. That pushes back his graduation timeline by a whole semester. I cannot stress enough that these crazy arbitrary braindead-version-of-HAL "detectors" are wreaking havoc with real people's lives.
