The problem:
Yesterday, plagiarism was lazy copy-pasting from Wikipedia. Today — it’s an “original” text generated in 15 seconds. And the funniest thing — anti-plagiarism tools barely notice. Neural networks write “in their own way,” don’t repeat, and don’t take from the internet, so technically they don’t copy. Teachers who used to crush plagiarists like nuts now face a new challenge.
Who wins?
| Student with ChatGPT | Teacher with Turnitin or Unicheck |
|---|---|
| Generates text in a minute | Checks manually because the system “found no plagiarism” |
| Paraphrases beyond recognition | Recognizes student’s style… but not always |
| Learns to use AI as a tool | Learns to distinguish “human style” from “robot style” |
Seriously, what can we do?
🔍 1. Focus on the process, not just the result
Check not only the final essay but the whole creation process: drafts, theses, notes, discussions.
If the student has no draft but a “brilliant” text — questions arise.
🤖 2. Use anti-AI detectors
Services like GPTZero, ZeroGPT, Sapling AI promise to detect AI-written text. But! They often make mistakes, especially if a human wrote well.
👥 3. Oral presentations and defenses
A simple way to catch cheating — ask to explain what they wrote.
If the text is “deep,” but the explanation is like a parrot after vacation — the author is not the student but AI.
✍️ 4. Teach AI collaboration
Instead of fighting — cooperate. Teach students to use ChatGPT as an assistant, not a brain replacement.
For example: “Here’s an AI draft — let’s improve and rewrite it in your own words.”
Conclusion:
Neural networks already win in speed and stealth. But teachers still have a trump card — the human approach. Style, logic, thinking — they’re not so easy to fake.
So no, we haven’t lost the race. But it’s too early to relax. Because while we argue, AI is already writing final papers for all of us.
