Students are central to an AI arms race in which programs generating answers for assignments and those designed to catch them out are scrambling for superiority.

Uni student Daniel hesitates when asked if he has used ChatGPT to cheat on assignments before."I don't think it's cheating," he said.)

"I do get Chat to like explain stuff to me if teachers don't really explain it that well," Lan Lang said."We put it through Turnitin, which just basically detects if you've used AI, or if you've copied off anyone else's work," she said.High school teacher Ryan Miller said he wasn't seeing a lot of generative AI used in the Year 12 and Year 8 classes he taught but understood from colleagues other age groups were using it.

"And nine times out of 10 they'll probably own up to it and say, 'Yeah, look, it wasn't ... 100 per cent my own work'," he said."But it's sort of a one warning per kid, per year for most teachers, I think," he said.He said he most regularly saw it cropping up with students who were trying to avoid doing any work.

University student Ethan, 19, said single words were sometimes highlighted in his Turnitin submissions.Dr Shaw said she understood the detection software had its faults. Dr Dayoub said he would prefer a future in which there was no need for detectors because people had changed the way they taught and assessed.
