Are any students coming up with a process to prove their innocents when they get falsely accused?

If I was still in school I would write my docs in a Google Doc which provides the edit history. I could potentially also record video of me typing the entire document as well or screen recording my screen.

That’s what the person in the article did:

“After her work was flagged, Olmsted says she became obsessive about avoiding another accusation. She screen-recorded herself on her laptop doing writing assignments. She worked in Google Docs to track her changes and create a digital paper trail. She even tried to tweak her vocabulary and syntax. “I am very nervous that I would get this far and run into another AI accusation,” says Olmsted, who is on target to graduate in the spring. “I have so much to lose.”

I don't think there's any real way around the fundamental flaw of such systems assuming there's an accurate way to detect generated text, since even motivated cheaters could use their phone to generate the text and just iterate edits from there, using identical CYA techniques.

That said, I'd imagine if someone resorts to using generative text their edits would contain anomalies that someone legitimately writing wouldn't have in terms of building out the structure/drafts. Perhaps that in itself could be auto detected more reliably.

All of that still wouldn't prove that you didn't use any sorta LLM to get it done. The professor could just claim you used ChatGPT on your phone and typed the thing in, then changed it up a bit.

Guess you need to livestream it on twitch with multiple camera angles.
