Wir bringen Schülern bei, schlechter zu schreiben, um zu beweisen, dass sie keine Roboter sind, und das drängt sie dazu, mehr KI zu verwenden

I had to stop using hyphens! Somebody asked if I was using chatgpt to write my work email! God forbid somebody properly write long-term or state-of-the-art! I deeply apologize for knowing how to write.

I’m a professional writer who will never use AI, and you can pry my em dashes and semicolons and well-bullet-pointed synopses from my cold dead hands.

I legit had to rewrite parts of my bachelor thesis because my examiner thought it was written too well and therefore assumed it was made my an AI tool

I’m sure this is prime time for the students the who make a lot of minor errors! I could have been top of my class!

I’m not changing my writing style. Sorry, but no. I’ll be lazy when I want to and I’ll write in a collegiate way when I feel like it too. Although, I do struggle with the later sometimes because I’m in IT and write technical documents a lot. So, it can tends to make your writing very concise and to the point, also it’s mostly statements and not trying to ask questions of the reader.

the real irony is that AI detection tools have like a 20-30% false positive rate, so students who naturally write well get flagged MORE than students who actually used ChatGPT and then deliberately made it worse. we’re literally incentivizing worse writing.

I work with some college students and one of them told me she now avoids using transition words, semicolons, and organized paragraph structure because turnitin flagged her paper. she’s dumbing down her writing to prove she’s human. that’s just… deeply depressing.

the fundamental problem is that detecting AI text is statistically impossible to do reliably — it’s like trying to detect which photos were taken with a flash vs natural light just by looking at them. some you can tell, most you can’t. and yet entire academic careers are being threatened by tools that are barely better than a coin flip on shorter texts.
