The article demonstrates that good, simple prose is being flagged as AI-generated. Reminds me of a misguided junior high English teacher that half-heartedly claimed I was a plagiarist for including the word "masterfully" in an essay, when she knew I was too stupid to use a word like that. These tools are industrializing that attitude and rolling it to teachers that otherwise wouldn't feel that way.
> she knew I was too stupid to use a word like that.
Oh... It is the story of my school math education. I always got bad marks, because I was "too stupid to come up with this particular solution to the problem". I didn't thought it was really unfair, because I thought myself to be lazy, and I looked for such solutions to math problems that would minimize my work. Oftentimes I ignored textbook ways to solve problems and used my own. I believed that it was a cheating, so naturally I got worse marks, but I put up with that, because I was lazy to do it in more complex way from a textbook.
That would be a pretty sad outcome. In my high school we did both in-class essays and homework essays. The former were always more poorly developed and more more poorly written. IMO students still deserve practice doing something that takes more than 45 minutes.
I've heard some students are concerned that any text submitted to an AI-detector is automatically added to training sets and therefore will eventually will be flagged as AI.
Obviously we will go back to in class writing.
