Too good to be human

I recently tested the accuracy of an AI-detection tool and found troubling results. I wrote a letter filled with grammar mistakes and submitted it. The tool confidently labeled it ‘human-written’. Then I corrected the grammar and polished the writing. This time, it declared the same letter ‘AI-generated’. It appears some of these tools judge the quality of writing, not the actual authorship. This creates an unfair environment where good grammar is seen as suspicious, while errors are seen as proof of honesty. Instead of doubting students who improve their writing, teachers and parents should support and guide them. Encouraging effort and reinforcing honesty matters far more than relying on flawed algorithms. If we continue to criticise students unfairly, we risk pushing them away from learning entirely.
