We're turfing out students by the tens on academic misconduct. They are handing in papers with references that clearly state "generated by Chat GPT". Lazy idiots.
This is why invisible watermarking of AI-generated content is likely to be so effective. Even primitive watermarks like file metadata. It's not hard for anyone with technical knowledge to remove, but the thing with AI-generated content is that anyone who dishonestly uses it when they are not supposed to is probably also too lazy to go through the motions of removing the watermarking.
Couldn't students just generate a paper with ChatGPT, open two windows wide by side and then type it out in a word document?
I think I'd at least use an OCR program to do the bulk of the typing for me...
