alt Hacker NewsThis is nice and all, but what repercussion does GPTZero get when their bullshit AI detection hallucinates a student using AI? And when that student receives academic discipline because of it?
Many such cases of this. More than 100!
They claim to have custom detection for GPT-5, Gemini, and Claude. They're making that up!
Indeed. My son has been accused by bullshit AI detection as having used AI, and it has devastated his work quality. After being "disciplined" for using AI (when he didn't), he now intentionally tries to "dumb down" his writing so that it doesn't sound so much like AI. The result is he writes much worse. What a shitty, shitty outcome. I've even found myself leaving typos and things in (even on sites like HN) because if you write too well, inevitably some comment replier will call you out as being an LLM even when you aren't. I'm as annoyed by the LLM posts as everybody else, but the answer surely is not to dumb us down into Idiocracy.
