With the publishing of ChatGPT and it's ability to write essays, answer questions, etc. at the very least at the graduate level, it seems likely that people will begin to use it for school work. Will a student be accused and subsequently punished for such an action.

This question will resolve positively if there is a public news report that indicates a student being punished for using AI to complete school work (where they aren't allowed to) at any recognized post-secondary institution.

Will likely need to use some discretion here.

It looks like this may have already happened, though I have not seen any news coverage:

The professor noticed something off about an essay, used the Huggingface GPT detector to check it, and (in this case) it was able to flag the text as likely GPT-generated.

The professor says that they "turned in" the student for plagiarism, but does not say what punishment occurred if any.

@ML I sas this. Does not count. I've said on a similar market that a Facebook post from a professor doesn't count. Needs to be something where the student gets punished by the school, not just turned in

predicted YES

NY Post has written up the story; says student "failed the class as a result": https://nypost.com/2022/12/26/students-using-chatgpt-to-cheat-professor-warns/

@ML that counts. I hope this means they actually verified the story is true :)
