    Using the ai to help find the answers… ok. Using the ai to provide the answers… not ok. You still have to pull up the references or links it gives you and do the research.

      I think this is one of many reasons why search engines became so bad so that using AI could be promoted instead. I have turned to using AI for searching because of it.

        I turned to it 2022ish, bingai at the time was the best for finding sources, google was already rough because of promotion and seo shenanigans

        Absolutely. You use soemthing like startpage or dogpile and it’s night and fucking day to anything that uses google or google services. Yes i include ddg.

      except that those links are increasingly pointing to slop content anyway. Even scientific papers.

    all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

    i find it funny how some users tried to argue that they did most of the work. it doesnt matter if you did most of the work, everyone as students were supposed to learn to cite your sources. even if you just used claude to reorganize info, theres no reason why you would be against watermarking it unless you wanted to hide the fact you used claude.

    While I can appreciate that it’s not a good thing to let AI do your work for you (not just laziness but hallucinations), I can see this is only going to encourage cheaters to use competitors to Claude.

    Like Deepseek.

    Would copying it in a text file not work? I mean Christ they are already skipping out on all the work they can’t even copy it?

    Its like asking the kid in class to copy his homework and then handing him a pencil and paper so he can copy it for you

      Because doing that doesn’t change the contents of the text so the “watermark” is still there.

        Ahhh I understand. So it is the actual usuage of words in a specific order?

        Well paraphrasing would probably solve this problem then wouldn’t it? Just paraphrase every line or paragraph saying the same thing but with different words

        I was thinking it was an embedded watermark and if you just opened a text file and typed it all out on your own then it wouldn’t flag it
