Turnitin should be required to share GPT-4-updated, peer-reviewed studies of the accuracy of their AI text detection tool, including the false positive rate, before releasing it. Unacceptable that we are supposed to take their word that it has fewer than 1% false positives.

Can someone please explain to me how Turnitin has a 1% false positive rate when OpenAI itself can only manage 30%? It's clear to me that Turnitin is very wrong, and with a tool like theirs, wrong means harm to students. Since it is a black box, how will instructors know better?

ChatGPT's latest version, GPT-4, is now available and Microsoft is planning to put it *inside* MS Word. But most academics still don't know how to use these apps smartly. Here are five ways you can use ChatGPT intelligently for teaching and academic purposes (prompts included):

taught a enterprise technology integration course on Friday about Git. It is always bittersweet being in the classroom. Bitter seeing I'm still off the books, probably for good through a clause that is worthy of a book on the illogical state of higher education, sweet is being me

I taught genetics to literally these exact NYU students. My class was HARD — transmission genetics, quant, pop, stat, lots of difficult material. The students learned it just fine. Maybe the students are not the problem? nytimes.com/2022/10/03/us/ny…

As an @nyuniversity professor, teaching the students mentioned in this article, I feel I should weigh in. I am not writing this to defend the University or their decision, but my students. (1/8)

NYU dismissed a chemistry professor after students said his class was too hard, igniting a debate about the relaxing of academic standards. nyti.ms/3UVGyFp

Very excited to present a new blog series on Decolonisation of EdTech. Up first is a resource list compiled by @TaskeenAdam & crowdsourced right here on Twitter to help researchers ask 'whose knowledge are you elevating and whose are you suppressing? bit.ly/3M3dgAc
