I sympathize with victim in this story. The AI detecting anti-cheating tools really seem like quite the racket.

At a certain point, telling if someone "cheated" on a research paper by evaluating only the text of the paper because ineffective because a student can always pay someone else to do the assignment for them. Instead of devising better assessment techniques, they do the same old things.

I've always learned a thing or two after completing a research paper, but ultimately they always felt like busy work. The goal was always the paper, not an actual objective that requires research.
