Cardiff University students said they had received first class grades for essays written using the AI chatbot ChatGPT. Cardiff University said it was reviewing its policies and would issue new university-wide guidance shortly.
One anonimous student prepared essey, one with the help of the chatbot and one without. For the essay he wrote with the help of AI, he received a first – the highest mark he has ever had at university. In comparison, he received a low 2.1 on the essay he wrote without the software.
He also admitted that he would most likely continue to use ChatGPT for the planning and framing of his essays.
Students said they do not use ChatGPT to write their essays, but to generate content they can tweak and adapt themselves.
Students are certain that the AI influence in his work is undetectable.
Cardiff University’s management said: “Maintaining academic integrity is our main priority and we actively discourage any student from academic misconduct in its many forms.”
