Demo of TurnItIn - New AI Detection Tool
TLDRDr. Moore from the University of Texas at Dallas demonstrates Turnitin's new AI detection tool. He simulates a student using Chat GPT to write a memo on AI writers, which is then uploaded to Turnitin. The tool flags a 45% similarity score, but more notably, it detects 100% AI writing, warning of potential academic misconduct. Faculty are advised to update their strategies, while students are cautioned against using AI writers to avoid plagiarism and cheating accusations.

Outlines
📚 Testing Turnitin's AI Detection Tool
Dr. Moore from the University of Texas at Dallas conducts an experiment to evaluate Turnitin's new AI detection tool. He simulates a student's scenario by using an essay assignment prompt to write a memo comparing AI writers. He then utilizes Chat GPT to generate the memo, including sources, and uploads it to Turnitin. The tool flags a 45% similarity score, indicating a match with previously uploaded documents but does not initially flag the AI-generated content. However, upon further inspection, Turnitin's AI detection feature identifies the memo as 100% AI-written, prompting a 'caution' message for review. Dr. Moore emphasizes the importance of this tool for faculty to adapt their strategies and assignments, and warns students that using AI to complete assignments can be considered cheating.
