“…Cotton, et al [16] took a practical approach to evaluating the pros and cons of using ChatGPT, with a focus on utilizing AI-powered writing assistants. This is in contrast to Yeadon, et al [17] who viewed ChatGPT as a significant threat to the validity of shortform essays. Wang, et al [18] enhanced and developed Boolean Queries (BQ) for systematic reviews using ChatGPT.…”

“…While some of the media coverage has been aptly critiqued as "alarmist and sensationalist reporting" (Rudolph et al, 2023, p. 13), a growing number of academic articles have also started to explore the capabilities and implications of ChatGPT for education (e.g., Gilson et al, 2022;Susnjak, 2022;Tate, Doroudi, Ritchie, & Xu, 2023;Ventayen, 2023). A common concern identified in these discussions is ChatGPT's capacity to generate 'human-like' essays that can evade plagiarism detectors (e.g., Ventayen, 2023;Yeadon et al, 2022) and its potential use for academic misconduct during online exams (Susnjak, 2022). Indeed, recent research suggests that GPT-3.5 can generate 300-word essays comparable to second year Physics students (Yeadon et al, 2022) and ChatGPT can generate correct answers for 42-64% of questions drawn from question banks used to prepare for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (Gilson et al, 2022; see also Bommarito & Katz, 2022, for related work on GPT-3.5 and multiple-choice questions provided by the USA National Conference of Bar Examiners).…”

“…Contrary to some literature emerging on this topic that stipulates plagiarism detection software is ineffective in detecting ChatGPT generated content (e.g., Gleason, 2022), ChatGPT itself indicates that software exists that is sensitive to ChatGPT generated text (OpenAI, 2023). A team of investigators in the United Kingdom investigated, running student short form essay responses through the plagiarism software Grammarly and TurnitIn with scores of 2% ± 1% and 7% ± 2%, respectively (Yeadon et al, 2022). Based on these scores and the favourable grading that these essays received, these authors concluded that ChatGPT is a major threat to fidelity in their academic context.…”
