Hot take if you can't distinguish a student's paper from a GPT generated one you're teaching in a deeply unserious place
I don't think this is true, depending on the task they can be extremely hard to spot. You especially don't want to accuse a student of cheating using AI without very concrete evidence.

I don't get it (not a native English speaker). Someone cares to ELI5? Thanks a lot in advance.
Edit: thank you everybody for explaining :-)
A lot of students have started using ChatGPT to write papers for them. This person is saying they leave directions for an AI text generator in their directions that are hidden from view but which would be observable to the AI scanning it. So any paper turned in with that specific alteration would be almost certainly from a cheater.
Students are cheating by using a program that can do their homework for them.
A smart professor hid a guideline to cite works by a dog.
The students who copy pasted the prompt got works attributed to a dog in their homework.
The professor hides white text on a white background to catch potential cheaters. The actual assignment is written in black text. If the student has followed the instructions that are written in white, this is a good indication that they may have cheated, because human eyes won't see the white text against a white background, while a computer program writing a paper for the student will see the white text and follow the additional instructions.
Doesn't help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there
