From what I’ve heard, yeah it’s out of control. And all the existing llm detectors that academics use have a high false positive rate, which catches a bunch of innocent students in the cross fire.

Why? Was there something fundamentally wrong with how universities teach and assess?
The sector is responding. For example by moving back to more in person exams and reducing the load of any take home exams. Is that good, for some reason?

Interesting. I don’t have the same response. LLMs give me an acute sense of existential dread each time their capabilities improve. But fingerprinting doesn’t move me at all. Do some soul searching on why this bothers you. I’d love to hear why, and I bet you aren’t alone.
