When philosophy professor Darren Hick came across another case of cheating in his classroom at Furman University in South Carolina last semester, he posted an update to his followers on social media: “Aaaaand, I’ve caught my second ChatGPT plagiarist.”“Only two?!

In one case last semester, a Texas A&M professor wrongly accused an entire class of using ChatGPT on final assignments. Most of the class was subsequently exonerated.

AI cheating accounted for about half of them.
