We got an email from someone who was falsely accused of using ChatGPT to generate their essays.

My name is XXX I am a XXX year old XX student at XXX. I am currently being falsely accused of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) on an assignment of mine. The AI detector is used through the company "Turnitin".

I am contacting you because I am interested in discussing this subject with someone who is willing to listen.

@timnitGebru This is horrifying but not surprising. We've always known "plagiarism detection" software was crap, but schools keep using it anyway. "AI detection" software is almost guaranteed to be even worse. I have no idea what to do about this, but I hope the student can get some kind of redress.
