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 ChatGPT to write a memo comparing AI writers, which is then uploaded to Turnitin. The tool gives a 45% similarity score, but importantly, flags the document as 'AI 100', indicating it's entirely AI-written. This serves as a caution for students, as using AI to complete assignments is considered cheating and can lead to academic penalties.
