Uncle Jiang is currently based in Australia, helping more than 500 students complete their appeals during their study abroad, participating in hearings many times, and has rich experience in charging letters from various schools in Australia.
Since last year, there have been more and more cases of using artificial intelligence, and Uncle Jiang has received a number of cases accused of using AI, especially ChatGPT, this year. Many classmates asked Uncle Jiang how AI was discovered. Uncle Jiang will analyze how the AI was discovered and the strategy after being accused based on the cases he has done.
So far, this is a very controversial issue, and Uncle Jiang has been observing the attitudes of major universities. However, the basic attitude of major universities is that it is not allowed unless there are special regulations. If you use AI, you must report it to the teacher in a timely manner. Therefore, as of today, Uncle Jiang's attitude is: try not to use AI unless you are allowed.
If you use AI as an auxiliary tool, such as making PPT and generating guide views, you will not be penalized in these cases.
If AI is used as a search tool, such as asking AI to provide articles, web pages, etc., this is already a violation, but it is a minor violation.
If you directly use or rewrite AI-generated text, this is a very serious academic violation.
At the moment, AI is still a controversial area, and the punishment is different for each school. At the University of Melbourne, for example, if the AI is discovered, the teacher will give priority to attending an informal meeting. Then it depends on the circumstances whether to report or not.
Now there is a new AI index in the Turniitin system, which is similar to a plagiarism report, and if the index is too high, you will be charged. In Uncle Jiang's case, the lowest index of 15% was also charged.
In addition, AI writing will appear to be a serious nonsense, such as AI reference may be completely non-existent. Or the examples of AI writing are non-existent, but AI is listed in a matter**. But this ** is completely absent. This will also be discovered by the teacher.
There are also classmates looking for **, and it is also possible to use AI to write.
If you just use AI as an auxiliary tool, such as making PPT and generating guide views, then you don't need to worry, just deal with it.
If it is a search tool made with AI, it needs to prepare a lot of evidence to prove it.
If you quote the text of the AI directly, this needs to be well defended.
Uncle Jiang found that his classmates were wrongfully accused of using AI, so when doing homework, he had to keep more traces of doing homework. Otherwise, it's hard to tell.
Defending is a case-by-case process, and hasty interpretations are problematic. In some cases, it can be said to be translation software, but this use case is also relatively limited. Specific cases still need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
Since the use of AI is still a relatively new category, the penalties are currently different for all schools. This needs to be analyzed according to the situation used by the students, case by case.
For specific defenses, students can refer to another article by Uncle Jiang: Academic Misconduct Hearing Techniques in Australian Universities. Or consult Uncle Jiang, case by case analysis.
If you are accused by the school and need to contact Uncle Jiang, please leave a private message to Uncle Jiang, and Uncle Jiang will read it every night. Before the consultation, please take care to prepare your letter of allegation and evidence from the school.
