Education Software Is Getting Very Good About ChatGPT Detection, And This Student Is Showing Us How » TwistedSifter

When I was in college, our campus still had a newspaper (like, a print newspaper).
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not THAT old – the internet had already pretty well taken over print, but the thing still existed on campus.
One day out of curiosity I started flipping through it, and I found an op-ed about weed legalization.
What I read felt familiar, and pretty soon I realized it was an exact, word-for-word copy of a Daniel Tosh routine.
“What is the point of that?” I thought to myself. “You’re paying so much money to be at this school. You CHOSE to join the newspaper team. If you don’t want to do or learn anything, why not just leave?”
Imagine my horror in 2025, when just having a bot do your homework for you is so normalized, you’re cringe if you DON’T do it.
Here’s the latest in that debacle, via TikTok user @studywithsawyer:

“So they just made it pretty much impossible to use ChatGPT or any kind of AI in college.”

“Because now whenever I pull up my paper, there’s a new button. You go down here, you press it, and then watch. Writing report.”

“And what this basically does is you press play and it’ll show exactly what you started with and then what you wrote to, like, change the text, and then it will say who did what, how natural it sounds, this one’s a bit iffy, but it has pauses, errors, and proof of effort, and then it shows you how long it took to write the edits and pastes.”

“You can’t even just paste in AI and then edit it anymore.”
I’ll give you all a moment of silence to mourn this devastating news.
@studywithsawyer This might be the end of AI in college #college #writing #ai #gptzeroambassador #gptzeroad
But don’t worry, this is NOT a time to reflect on all your rampant cheating.
Just find a new way to do it.
Refreshingly, the guy who posted the video doesn’t seem to be in favor of the cheat methods.
Then there’s this criticism, which I think misses the mark a little bit.
Like sure, education reform is good and all, but how are you going to fix the problem of educating someone who is straight up uninterested in receiving an education?
“Get with the times auntie.”
My soul just died.
Personally, and this is not a joke, I think universities should start implementing, like, maybe a TWO strike rule.
Have a bot do your work for you once? Fine, you’re young and dumb, but never do it again.
Do it twice? You’re expelled. No exceptions.
You don’t want to be here anyway, let’s save everybody the trouble.

McALLEN, Texas – Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the core of South Texas College’s Bachelor of Applied Technology in Computer Information Technology (BAT-CIT) program as it pioneers industry certificates on a statewide and national scale for students.
Leadership and faculty with the program say they have now awarded more than 2,250 certificates to students taking BAT-CIT courses in the five years since integrating what the program calls AI-focused “microcredentials” tied to Google and Amazon Web Services (AWS) in fall 2020.
The priority on industry credentials is giving graduates a unique and competitive edge in the job market, according to program Department Chair Saeed Molki.
“In the entire state of Texas and throughout the entire United States, no one has done such a thing,” Molki said, referring to the number of credentials awarded to students. “We do not overstate all the work we have done for students in the last five years.”
Crediting college leadership including STC President Ricardo J. Solis, Ph.D., along with Vice President and Provost for Academic Affairs and Economic Development, Anahid Petrosian, Ph.D., and Dean of Math, Science, IT and Bachelor Programs Ali Esmaeili, Ed.D., for encouraging the push toward microcredentials and AI, Molki said the effort began with a vision to embed industry certifications directly into courses.
The effort culminated this year in 2025 as the program added four new AI-related courses, which includes an Advanced Artificial Intelligence course for fourth-year students and an upcoming Data Science and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity course which begins in spring 2026.
Each course is meant to build on the last to create a progressive pathway to advanced AI concepts, according to BAT-CIT faculty.
“So essentially, students are going to be getting a certificate with every class,” said Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Nicholas Hinojosa. “Last semester, we even implemented that every student who is taking our 1301 class, which is our most basic class, will complete a certificate in Google Artificial Intelligence Essentials. These are students who are coming fresh from high school to STC.”
The BAT-CIT program offers seven industry-recognized certifications, that align with coursework so students earn credentials as they progress through the program.
CIT Assistant Professor Menghung Wu, Ph.D., emphasized that the curriculum builds from Python to machine learning and then to advanced AI which ensures students understand both the technical skills and theory behind AI systems.
“AI is no longer just a tool, it’s the foundation of how technology is advancing,” Wu said. “This is why in our program, we don’t just introduce students to the basics, we guide them step-by-step into the core of artificial intelligence. That deeper knowledge is what will set them apart as innovators in the workplace.”
BAT-CIT student Andrea Rios is the founder and current president of the program’s Computer Science Club and organizes various activities and speakers for students. Reflecting on the priority the program places on AI-related credentials, Rios said faculty are doing a phenomenal job by embracing the new technology and gauging the industry.
“The biggest way the faculty in the BAT-CIT program help students is by understanding the market and the workplace and realizing just how quickly it changes, especially in the technology industry,” Rios said. “At STC, we are taught to adapt and I think that’s the most important thing I have taken from my time here.”
