Uni work AI checker

[ivrytwr3]

Daughter is at first year uni and said she is uploading her essays to AI checkers. I've told her not to add she had no idea where her paper is going ie getting sold on etc!

She says she is using grammarly I've read on here some recommending it - is it safe to use?

But same again, where is that data going - she is uploading a whole paper.

When I did uni they had plagiarism checkers, surely now Unis have AI checkers? I've told her to ask.

I’d hope she’d be using grammar at that level.

Fat fingers on my phone! Grammarly.

if any AI are rewriting her work...

she needs to actually read it because those AI seem to have a habit of forgetting things


the teachers can probably spot it too and will think its just been wrote by AI

I bet a large chunks of essays submitted look like they were wrote by the same person

She's not looking for rewrites, she is using grammarly as an AI checker.

A lot of posts elsewhere are saying they are getting high percentages of AI written - i've told her to ignore it.

I can't see anywhere on the Uni site that offers an AI checker either. Although it does say they can use Grammarly for proof reading.

Uni - "Why haven't you handed in your assignment, you've missed the deadline and all the late days?"

Daughter - "My dad told me not to because [some paranoia]"

Uni - "OK, that doesn't count as mitigating circumstance you've got zero for the assignment"

She's supposed to be an adult now, I'm not sure what you're doing getting involved in the minutia of how assignments are uploaded, that's like helicopter parenting on steroids. There will be multiple people she can turn to for advice at the uni and the student's union all of whom will know more and be able to give better advice than you can.

That is the mother of all leaps

My daughter is using AI to CHECK her work is not getting flagged as AI generated. She uses the Uni plagiarism software to check for well, any signs of plagiarism.

The AI check is something she has personally initiated, not a Uni requirement and is certainly NOT delaying her handing in her work on time.

She is just doing her due diligence prior to any submissions. My concern is that adding her work to a free online AI checker, i do not know where that data will end up.
