We've trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.

As teachers prepare for school year this year they face a new challenge - Chat GPT.

We've been hearing about it a lot lately, but we wanted to know how are teachers preparing their lessons and assessments to ensure kiwi students are doing the work themselves

August 2023 Update - AI Writing Check is no longer available

👋 Educators, we have taken down AI Writing Check because the new versions of Generative AI tools are too sophisticated for detection by AI. When we launched this tool in January 2023, the only Generative AI tool available was ChatGPT. There are now a series of different tools available, and each of these tools is being upgraded weekly. As these tools make their AI more complex, the AI text output becomes more varied, and it becomes more difficult for algorithms to detect whether a piece of writing was generated by AI.

As a result, OpenAI has taken down their algorthim. We were hosting the algorthim created by OpenAI, and we are now taking this algorthim down as well.

However, there is an alternative approach for educators to understand their students' writing: check the version history. We recommend this piece, by Dave Sayers, that describes this approach:
"[The] answer lies in a somewhat obscure feature of Google Drive: the "version history". Pick any file you've worked on in Google Drive, then click on File > Version History > See Version History, and you'll be presented with a detailed log of all changes made to that file. If it's been edited by different people, you'll also see which user made each change. Microsoft Office seems to have a similar feature, too. Click into the details in that log and you'll see every little sentence you added, every typo you corrected, every awkward passage you rephrased or deleted. It's really remarkably useful as a writing aid, not to mention a way to recover stuff you actually wish you hadn't deleted. But it also leaves a very particular - and very human - trail of writing.If a student actually does the writing themselves, they will similarly write things, move things around, add bits, delete bits; all the usual meandering manoeuvres of human writing. And all of that will appear in the version history, indelibly timestamped and tagged per user. If, on the other hand, it was written for them - either by a machine or indeed by an old-fashioned human ghostwriter - then they would receive a completed text, which they could then only copy and paste all at once into the document. Even if they went to the trouble of manually typing out a provided text, the version history would simply show them typing it out word by word from start to finish. No human writes that way."

Educators, we created a toolkit to help you talk about AI plagiarism with your students

With the introduction of this new technology, students are curious about how to use it. We believe that if students use AI tools as research tools, and properly cite it as a source, it can help students learn about new ideas. However, when students pass off AI generated writing as their own, they are not engaging in the critical process of building their own writing skills. To help you set the right expectations with your students and navigate these conversations, we created a toolkit.

We created AI Writing Check to support strong writing education for students

Quill.org & CommonLit are nonprofit educational technology organizations dedicated to helping 3rd - 12th grade students become stronger writers. Quill.org provides writing activities that use AI to provide students with immediate feedback and coaching, enabling them to continually revise their work and build their skills. CommonLit provides interactive reading and writing activities, and a full English Language Arts curriculum to support literacy development in grades 6-12.

Quill.org and CommonLit deeply believe that every student needs to be a strong writer to succeed in school and careers, and technology can help build these writing skills. To achieve this mission, both of our nonprofits provided our activities for free to all educators and students.

AI Writing Check is a free service developed by Quill.org and CommonLit.org to enable educators to check if a piece of writing submitted by a student was written by the AI tool ChatGPT.

Use a variety of assessment methods that require different skills and abilities.

written assignments (eg pen and paper)

oral presentations

group projects, and/or peer review activities.

This can make it more difficult for students to cheat or use GPT because they will need to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in different ways.
