Artificial intelligence has become a problem at schools, as many Dutch students are using an automated chatbox to do their homework for them.
More than 250 students around the Netherlands have been using the advanced text generator ChatGPT to complete their homework assignments, reports the NOS.
“A teacher is really not going to check what my own words are exactly,” says one student.
What is ChatbotGPT? ChatbotGPT is an AI chatbox that’s been trained and fine-tuned to produce computer-generated answers in an extremely human-like text. The program is so refined that its answers are undetectable to other humans.
Teachers aren’t happy
Teachers are particularly concerned because they can’t tell what’s been written by their students or not. How will they know that their students are learning well?

Luckily, students won’t get caught because the chatbox is so intelligent that it scans the web and creates a whole new piece of work in its own words, avoiding plagiarism detection like the plague.
Whew, with the likes of VPNs and AI arriving on the scene, Dutch students have all the tools they need. 👀
What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
Artificial intelligence mimics human-minds intelligence through the form of computers and machines. The purpose of it is mostly to carry out the tasks and problems that are usually done by humans.
One Nijmegen lecturer, Furkan Sogut, has taken matters into his (human) hands. He uses several different websites to determine which texts are human and which are robots.
He’s worked out that human texts are less predictable, in terms of word choice and sentence structure. This seems like a huge task, though, one that perhaps only a computer can conquer. 🤖
