Why? Didn't they manage to write a single paragraph that didn't end with "however it is important to acknowledge...blah"
And how would that warrant higher grades? Chatgpt's ductus is extremly repetitive, easily recognized by it's pathetic attempts to "balance" every statement, because openAI is so goddamn afraid of being branded as another MS Tay.
Really? Everbody or at least more than half cheated, so that they have to offer a new exam in order to save their own appareances, because it would have been too much to fail "
only" the
cheaters? Like really?
? Scrupulous students were such a tiny minority in comparison? Or EVERYBODY used chatgpt... REEEEAAAAALLY?
I say there is a non zero chance somebody ran one of those stupid tools that also found that the declaration of independence was in all likelyhood written by AI. That would be peak projection.
They should consider themselves lucky I wasn't in that meeting. If I could speak with confidence that my paper wasn't written by AI yet I was being lumped in with the others... and forced to take a second one... no way I wouldn't have unpacked my unique brand of autistic tantrum with burnout no consideration for my bodily integrity. That director would never have been insulted so much and so loud in his whole life, first start by being factual then devolve into screaming swearwords, praying that somebody picks me up on my open invitation to a duel to the death. Hehe... I'd never have made to the end of the year anyway.
edit: As to the styles being eerily similar: well for one I doubt they weren't railroaded towards writing in a certain way, but more importantly there are more benign explanations, grammarly for example. Like really I simply cannot believe it. The free version of chatpgpt doesn't do sources, needs to be factchecked, writes in a manner so repetitive that is actually futile to specify the length of the answer. Sounds like writing a paper with extra steps. Who knows, maybe I'm just paranoid and the students have insane solidarity and cohesion despite being the age group most heavily affected by the corona crisis and the isolation that brought with itself.
