In recent years, the boom of tools such as Chatgpt has transformed silently, but deeply, university classrooms. Artificial intelligence not only It has changed the way students do their homework, but has also modified the teacher’s workwhich now faces increasingly complex ethical and academic dilemmas.
What was previously an evaluation of the student’s effort now seems constant test to distinguish between the authentic and generated by a machine.
And the biggest challenge is not to detect plagiarism, but deal with the loss of confidence throughout the educational process. As explained by the university professor, Phil Christman, in Slate: «My work now requires me to issue impossible judgments. If this is how they cheat, now, I don’t only know how to know if my students cheat, but I don’t even know how I can be sure of it. «
The invisible trap of AI in education
Before AI broke into the scene, many teachers lived their academic year with some emotional routine; With enthusiasm in September, tiredness in November, satisfaction to see improvements, and a comforting closure at the end of the semester.
However, since 2023, This routine has been altered by a new persistent concernthat Phil Christman reflects in his article, who really wrote that job?
Generated with Ia
One of the biggest problems is not the use of AI as a support tool, but its use as a shortcut. It is increasingly common to find well structured texts, with clear theses and consistent paragraphs, but without a trace of personal effort behind.
This raises a dilemma that teachers were not prepared to face, How to judge a job that seems correct, but perhaps created in seconds by an AI. Scripture is no longer only a skill to evaluate, but an unknown that puts into play the integrity of education.
Some students don’t even try to hide it. For them, AI is a competitive advantage, one more trick to stand out without going through the learning process. They see it as a logical way to optimize efforts in an educational system that many perceive as obsolete.
This attitude, fed by a culture of results and pressure for success, makes the university a kind of scenario, where what matters is the product, not the process.
As the teacher explains: «Any experience with experience knows that there is no real way to prevent a rich and determined boy from cheating in a writing class (even with chatgpt).» But there are more disturbing cases.
The case of well -made work on complex topics, such as critical pedagogy, supposedly written by students without previous experience in these debates.
«Later, I asked Wendy if I recognized the irony of using AI to write not only a job about critical pedagogy, but one that argue that learning is what makes us truly human,» explains Christman. And add the student’s answer: «I wasn’t sure what to do with the question. ‘I use a lot. Almost every day‘».
At that time, the teacher feels that he has lost his compass. The relationship between teaching and learning becomes fragile, almost fictitious.
THE CRISIS OF EDUCATION AND TEACHERS
True damage is not academic fraud, but the erosion of trust. The teacher is forced to become a detectiveevaluating not only the content, but also the «tone» or «rigidity» of a text for suspecting its origin. But even that is unreliable. The Improves Improves every month and adapts.
As Christman’s final reflection, despite «protecting» his chatgpt tasks as he can and rewarding, instead of punishing, poorly elaborated or presented ideas, he tries to address his students as almas and not as consumers, but «it is probably not enough.»
«We ask them to strive, but we forget to give them a forceful response of why. Rightly cheat; They must already feel fooled, «he ends up writing.
