Your AI-dar probably doesn’t work

# Your AI Detector Probably Isn't Working Universities are discovering they can't reliably catch students using AI tools like ChatGPT, even when teachers try technical tricks or look for telltale signs of AI writing. Professors are giving up on proving students cheated with AI and instead are shifting to a simpler approach: asking students to redo suspicious work or analyzing their writing process through tools like Google Docs history. The bottom line is that "vibes-based" detection—essentially trusting your gut about whether something sounds AI-generated—has become a more practical strategy than trying to catch students red-handed.
