Professor Failed More Than Half His Class After ChatGPT Falsely Claimed It Wrote Their Final Papers
There’s just one problem: ChatGPT doesn’t work that way. The bot isn’t made to detect material composed by AI — or even material produced by itself — and is known to sometimes emit damaging misinformation. With very little prodding, ChatGPT will even claim to have written passages from famous novels such as Crime and Punishment. Educators can choose among a wide variety of effective AI and plagiarism detection tools to assess whether students have completed assignments themselves, including Winston AI and Content at Scale; ChatGPT is not among them. And OpenAI’s own tool for determining whether a text was written by a bot has been judged “not very accurate” by a digital marketing agency that recommends tech resources to businesses.
In an amusing wrinkle, Mumm’s claims appear to be undercut by a simple experiment using ChatGPT. On Tuesday, redditor Delicious_Village112 found an abstract of Mumm’s doctoral dissertation on pig farming and submitted a section of that paper to the bot, asking if it might have written the paragraph. “Yes, the passage you shared could indeed have been generated by a language model like ChatGPT, given the right prompt,” the program answered. “The text contains several characteristics that are consistent with AI-generated content.” At the request of other redditors, Delicious_Village112 also submitted Mumm’s email to students about their presumed AI deception, asking the same question. “Yes, I wrote the content you’ve shared,” ChatGPT replied. Yet the bot also clarified: “If someone used my abilities to help draft an email, I wouldn’t have a record of it.”
“A&M-Commerce confirms that no students failed the class or were barred from graduating because of this issue,” the school said in a statement. “Dr. Jared Mumm, the class professor, is working individually with students regarding their last written assignments. Some students received a temporary grade of ‘X’ — which indicates ‘incomplete’ — to allow the professor and students time to determine whether AI was used to write their assignments and, if so, at what level.” The university also confirmed that several students had been cleared of any academic dishonesty.
“University officials are investigating the incident and developing policies to address the use or misuse of AI technology in the classroom,” the statement continued. “They are also working to adopt AI detection tools and other resources to manage the intersection of AI technology and higher education. The use of AI in coursework is a rapidly changing issue that confronts all learning institutions.”

Save Big On PS5 Exclusive Games, Great Accessories, And More
This month is largely about Tears of the Kingdom–but if you’re a PS5 owner, there are still tons of great games to check out. In fact, there’s a surprising number of great deals going on that make it easy to pick up blockbusters you may have missed over the past year.
Elden Ring, which is down to just $48 and is one of the lowest prices we’ve yet to see for the 2022 Game of the Year. It offers a world that’s just as sprawling and mysterious as Tears of the Kingdom, making it a good (albeit difficult) alternative for PS5 owners. You can also snag a preowned copy of God of War: Ragnarok for $40, which is another open-world epic that’s every bit as fun as Elden Ring.
Beyond those juggernauts, you’ll find The Callisto Protocol for $25 (down from $50), Deathloop for $20 (down from $60), and Forspoken for $30 (down from $70). The latter was met with mixed reviews at launch, but it’s definitely worth checking out now that its price is radically reduced. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but its magical world and unique combat system are worth the new price of admission.
Games are seeing the best discounts right now, but there are a handful of accessories worth considering, too. The premium SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P Wireless Gaming Headset is now just $155 (down from $180), while the Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset is listed for $49 (down from $60). And if you need to expand your internal SSD, check out this 1TB model from WD Black, which is $90 (down from $180).
