Texas professor falsely accuses students of using ChatGPT to cheat and threatens to fail entire class.
A professor at Texas A&M University-Commerce attempted to fail all his students in an animal science class after falsely accusing them of using ChatGPT to complete their assignments. The professor claimed he discovered they all used artificial intelligence on their essays, but ChatGPT is not capable of reliably detecting if an essay was written by itself. The school has said the incident had not led any students to fail or not be allowed to graduate, but is developing policies to address the use or misuse of AI technology in the classroom.
