Who Wrote This? The Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Academy

Abstract

Artificial technology has improved in many spheres, including large language models (LLM). It seems that text generated by LLMs might be indistinguishable from the human-written text. This research study reports on how accurately participants can identify whether a text composition is written by a human being or by a computer. Implications for teachers, assessment scholars, policymakers, and administrators are discussed.
