It's a huge problem. I have several friends in university who have had assignments flagged as AI. They have had entire units failed and forced to retake semesters which is not cheap.

Even if you fight it, the challenge goes into the next semester and pushes out your study timeline and associated costs.

Works for high school, not so much for university degrees. What's crazy is universities have an incentive to flag your work as AI generated as it forces the student to pay more money and is difficult to challenge.

One friend now uses a dashcam to record themselves when writing an assignment so they can prove no AI was used when they are eventually flagged.
