But unlike in standard plagiarism detection software \u2014 or a well-crafted college paper \u2014 the software offered no citations. <\/p>\n<p>Hick then tried producing the same essay by asking ChatGPT a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of questions he imagined his student had asked. The move yielded similar answers, but no direct matches, since the tool formulates unique responses. <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, he confronted the student, who copped to using ChatGPT and failed the class as a result. The undergrad was also turned over to the school\u2019s academic dean.<\/p>\n<p>But Hick fears that other cases will be almost impossible to prove, and that he and his colleagues will soon be inundated with fraudulent work, as universities like Furman struggle to establish formal academic protocols for the developing technology.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Hick says that the best he can do is surprise suspected students with impromptu oral exams, hoping to catch them off-guard without their tech armor.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"810\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/darren-hick-01.jpg?w=810\" alt=\"Assistant professor Darren Hick fears what ChatGPT will do to academic honesty. \" class=\"wp-image-25139616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/darren-hick-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1620 1620w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/darren-hick-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1215 1215w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/darren-hick-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=810 810w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/darren-hick-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=405 405w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/darren-hick-01.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\"\/><figcaption>Assistant professor Darren Hick fears what ChatGPT will do to academic honesty. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">courtesy of Darren Hick<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going to be the difficulty is that, unlike convincing a friend to write your essay because they took the class before or paying somebody online to write the essay for you, this is free and instantaneous,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Even more frightening, Hick fears that as ChatGPT keeps learning, irregularities in its work will become less and less obvious on a student\u2019s paper. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is learning software \u2014 in a month, it\u2019ll be smarter.
