Texas Professor Fails All his Students After ChatGPT Falsely Tells him They Used AI to Plagiarize

A Texas-based professor received flak online for reportedly failing his entire class, after ChatGPT falsely told him that they used AI to plagiarize. Allegations have emerged that Professor Jared Mumm, renowned for his agricultural expertise and even doubling as a campus rodeo instructor, doled out “incomplete” grades to his students, all due to the unexpected involvement of an artificial intelligence program.

According to school sources, the debacle unfolded when Professor Mumm revealed in a harrowing email that he had subjected his students’ final papers to the scrutiny of an AI chatbot known as ChatGPT. Astonishingly, this digital entity falsely claimed responsibility for the authorship of every single paper submitted. The professor’s trust in the AI’s veracity led him to inflict upon the class a collective academic failure.

As word spread like wildfire, a Reddit thread brought this unsettling incident to public attention. A snippet of the email circulated on the forum, leaving readers aghast. “I put everyone’s last three assignments through two separate times and if they were both claimed by ChatGPT, you received a 0,” Professor Mumm’s message read.

As the controversy unfolded, one troubling fact emerged: ChatGPT, the very AI chatbot at the center of the debacle, lacked an official feature to identify its own creations or detect work generated by AI in general.

“Incomplete grades for all”

The professor decided to unleash an AI chatbot, ChatGPT, on his students’ final papers. And what did this cheeky digital tool do? Just casually claimed authorship for every single piece, leaving the poor professor with no choice but to wave a red flag and cry, “Incomplete grades for all!”

Soon enough, the news traveled, and it landed on the internet’s favorite rabbit hole of opinions: Reddit. Screenshots of the professor’s email circulated, carrying the weight of a thousand failed assignments.

You received a ZERO

“I put everyone’s last three assignments through two separate times and if they were both claimed by ChatGPT, you received a 0,” Mumm’s email read.

After receiving outrage on social media, the professor devised a plan. A make-up assignment would surely ease the blow and allow his students to redeem themselves. Little did he know, this would only annoy the students more.

Students Claim Innocence

Those students, who adamantly professed their innocence and swore they hadn’t even heard of ChatGPT, found themselves in a whirlwind of disbelief and mounting frustration.

The partner of one affected student, going by the Reddit handle DearKick, claimed that their affected partner was simply unaware of ChatGPT’s existence!

Here’s the Kicker

Now, here’s the kicker: ChatGPT, the digital tool at the center of it all, has no official feature to distinguish its own work from human creations. In the past, this AI troublemaker had even dared to claim authorship of original pieces, sneaking bits from the hallowed pages of “Crime and Punishment” into its repertoire.

Professor Mass Flunked “Several Classes”

Reportedly, Professor Mumm, in a stunning display of unwavering trust in ChatGPT, supposedly repeated the mass flunking saga with not just one, but “several” classes. Armed with timestamps from the ever-reliable Google Documents, the students confidently approached the professor, ready to clear their names.

However, their efforts were met with dismissive glance by the professor, who said, “I don’t grade AI bullshit.”
