The part that annoys me is that students apparently have no right to be told why the AI flagged their work. For any process where an computer is allowed to judge people, where should be a rule in place that demands that the algorithm be able explains EXACTLY why it flagged this person.

Now this would effectively kill off the current AI powered solution, because they have no way of explaining, or even understanding, why a paper may be plagiarized or not, but I'm okay with that.

Must be so demoralizing to be a kid these days. You use AI --> you're told you're cheating, which is immoral. You don't use AI --> you eventually get accused of using it or you get left behind by those who do use it.

Figuring out who the hell you are in your high school years was hard enough when Kafka was only a reading assignment.
