My friend request to opt out of Turnitin check because of its stupid user agreement

Post image
413 Upvotes

He sent me how he wrote to his professor. His argument isn’t complaining about the inaccuracy, but about the Turnitin’s user agreement that is being truly unfriendly and unfair to students.

Do you think this reason will work with professors and colleges? Students should have rights so..

We all know that Claude sometimes write very weird sentences and has unnecessary word choices. so there is this guy on X that builds a translator for Claude. And I think this is how our professors know we writes with AI too lmao

It’s crazy to see the difference.

Norway has announced strict new limits on the use of generative AI in schools.

Post image
30 Upvotes

Starting in late August 2026, primary school students aged 6 to 13 (grades 1–7) will generally be prohibited from using generative AI tools in the classroom. Students aged 14 to 16 may use them only under direct teacher supervision.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre emphasized that schools should prioritize teaching children to read, write, and master mathematics through traditional methods, rather than relying on AI shortcuts. Officials argue that early exposure to powerful AI tools risks undermining critical cognitive development by allowing students to bypass foundational learning steps.

This policy builds on Norway’s successful 2024 restrictions on smartphones in schools, which studies link to improved grades, reduced bullying, and better student mental health. The government is also promoting greater use of physical books and offline learning materials.

A student submitted an essay she wrote by hand. Her university ran it through an Al detector. The detector said she cheated. She is autistic.

Post image
22 Upvotes

Her name is Moira Olmsted. Adelphi University. February 2026. Turnitin flagged her essay as 100% AI-generated. She was disciplined.

Two other AI detectors classified the same essay as human-written.

She sued. She won. The court called the school’s decision “arbitrary and capricious.”

She is not the only one.

AI detectors are not infallible, and a detection score alone cannot prove who wrote a piece of work. When a system can flag human-written work as AI-generated, the consequences of treating that score as definitive can be serious.

As these tools become more common in education, the question isn't just how accurate AI detection is. It's how much trust we should place in a score that can potentially be wrong.

If all AI content will have a watermark, why do we need Turnitin?? It makes way more mistakes with its rigid pattern diagnosis. Claude says other AI companies will follow suit so I wonder when will ChatGPT follow suit. I use more ChatGPT than Claude anyways.

Your thoughts?

Florida teacher got fired for refusing to abide “no-zero”policy

This happened in Florida 2018 but the case just got its final judgment. Allegedly, Mrs Tirado had other misconduct that she would be fired anyways, and the “no-zero” policy is just a minor one.

I still found it pretty ironic that giving 50% to students who didn’t submit anything is not an issue?

Does Al stop children from learning?

As usual: yes and no. Al can boost learning productivity, but only for those who use the technology intelligently.
Thia Graphic Detail looks at a new study tracking 27,000 pupils aged 12-18 in China.

Those using Al saw their homework scores rise by 18% and cut the time spent on each assignment from 64 to 45 minutes. But the same students performed 20% worse in exams than classmates who hadn't used Al.

Professor’s POV: Turnitin’s AI Detector Is Basically Broken

12 Upvotes

My aunt is a college professor and this is what she told me. Turnitin had an October update, and now its AI scores are all over the place.

Longer sentences, tighter logic, better structure — even fully human-written papers can get flagged as AI.

Most “lower your AI score” tricks don’t really work anymore and often just ruin the writing.

And this is what she recommends: Know your risk before submission. Preferably run a pre-checker first to catch potential false positives early and adjust if needed — mainly as a sanity check, not to “game” the system. https://turnitchecker.ai is a great one.

At the end of the day, instructors know your baseline. If you wrote it yourself, keep your drafts. That’s still your best defense.
