Teachers have gotten used to seeing AI-generated essays and other written work. According to some estimates, more than half of students are using AI to generate parts of their papers. So It’s no surprise many of those of us who teach, particularly those of us who teach English or writing, have also gotten good at recognizing writing from ChatGPT and other AI models.
Previously, I've written about some of the AI “tells” I’ve noticed in my writing classes. But I recently began actively asking educators what they’ve noticed and have solicited thoughts on this from fellow teachers through social media. I've received feedback from educators across the globe, but the bulk of it has come from a mix of former students and current instructors at the MFA writing program in which I teach and where I am often in contact with colleagues.
