A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> high school known for having a prestigious academic program told parents that students have been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cheating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cheating</a> on essays using ChatGPT.
According to an <a href="https://nbc-2.com/news/local/2023/02/15/students-at-cape-coral-high-school-accused-of-using-artificial-intelligence-to-cheat-on-essay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">email</a> sent to parents by the program coordinator, students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Cape Coral High School are allegedly using the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI</a> chat software to generate essays. School district and IB program officials condemned the use of software, but students say the software is already commonplace.
&#8220;Your senior students are in the process of submitting rough and final drafts of their official IB internal assessments in their various subject areas,&#8221; Cape Coral IB program coordinator Katelyn A. Uhler wrote in the letter. &#8220;Recently the use of AI generators has become a major concern. The use of AI generators is a violation of our academic integrity policy&#8230; There have been some IB papers submitted that are questionable in a few ways including being very different styles of writing from previously submitted papers. I have been going into the senior Theory of Knowledge classes with CCHS administration to address this concern and outline the consequences.&#8221;
The school uses an automated software called Turnitin to check for plagiarism on their papers. But Uhler pointed out that AI-generated papers can get around this because they do not generate the same output twice. Instead, the school is using AI detectors and investigating individual students&#8217; laptops to verify their work.
Uhler said she asked students to approach her in private to correct the issue quickly; if not, students could incur more severe consequences. IB teachers need to authenticate all student work in order to complete the program, and IB students need to complete the program in order to earn their high school diploma.
Uhler urged parents to talk to their children at home about the consequences of using AI-generated work.
Officials with both the School District of Lee County and the International Baccalaureate program condemned the use of AI to create work. &#8220;As part of our ongoing cybersecurity efforts, our Information Services team continues to strengthen Chromebook security features to block the use of AI from aiding any student work,&#8221; the district told local news outlet NBC2.
“The use of ChatGPT and any other method which results in a student submitting work that is not their own is against the IB’s academic integrity policy,&#8221; the IB added.
But students at the school told the outlet that they are well aware of ChatGPT.
“I’ve heard a lot about it,&#8221; said student Sophia Fallacara. &#8220;Like, all of the seniors, they’re all talking about it.”
“There’s like a whole controversy about it,” added student Michael Clayton.
In December, a professor at Furman University warned that AI is the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/artificial-intelligence-is-the-future-of-plagiarism-university-professor-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">future of plagiarism</a>. “Today, I turned in the first plagiarist I’ve caught using A.I. software to write her work, and I thought some people might be curious about the details,” philosophy professor Darren Hick wrote on Facebook, pointing out ChatGPT specifically.
“Administrations are going to have to develop standards for dealing with these kinds of cases, and they’re going to have to do it FAST,” Hick added. “This is too new. But it’s going to catch on. It would have taken my student about 5 minutes to write this essay using ChatGPT. Expect a flood, people, not a trickle.”

Machine Gun Kelly&#8217;s guitarist Sophie Lloyd slammed reports suggesting she was allegedly the woman behind cheating allegations amid the rapper&#8217;s rumored split from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megan-fox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Fox</a>.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/machine-gun-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">32-year-old</a> rapper&#8217;s guitarist&#8217;s management team called the accusation that she had become involved with the &#8220;My Ex&#8217;s Best Friend&#8221; hitmaker  &#8220;meritless,&#8221; &#8220;disrespectful,&#8221; and more, <a href="https://people.com/music/machine-gun-kelly-guitarist-sophie-lloyd-addresses-megan-fox-cheating-rumors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a> magazine reported.
&#8220;Sophie Lloyd is a professional, accomplished musician who has been needlessly dragged into the media based off of meritless accusations made by social media,&#8221; Lloyd&#8217;s management team shared in a statement.
&#8220;Any suggestion that she has ever acted in an unprofessional manner or stepped out of her relationship are untrue,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;It&#8217;s disrespectful to her as a female artist and poor journalism and social commentary to be reporting anything else.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Machine Gun Kelly’s guitarist Sophie Lloyd has responded to rumors that Machine Gun Kelly cheated on Megan Fox with her. <a href="https://t.co/R8dXckvgeI">https://t.co/R8dXckvgeI</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The statement came following reports that the 36-year-old actress appeared to hint at some kind of infidelity and breakup with MGK before she deleted her Instagram account, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megan-fox-hints-at-infidelity-from-machine-gun-kelly-sparks-break-up-rumors-by-quoting-beyonces-lemonade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
The &#8220;Jennifer&#8217;s Body&#8221; star lit up social media recently when she deleted photos on her social media account of her and MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker. Fox followed that up by making a cryptic post using lyrics from Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade.
&#8220;You can taste the dishonesty/ it&#8217;s all over your breath,&#8221; the line read that the actress shared.
In the comments section of her final post, Fox addressed cheating allegations when she named a person called Sophie, which fans took as being Lloyd, People magazine noted.
&#8220;He probably got with Sophie,&#8221; one fan wrote. Fox responded with a tongue-in-cheek remark, joking, &#8220;Maybe I got with Sophie.&#8221;
The actress then decided to delete her account altogether. On Valentine&#8217;s Day on Tuesday, paparazzi spotted Megan and Baker spending time together amid breakup rumors, the outlet <a href="https://people.com/movies/megan-fox-and-machine-gun-kelly-spotted-together-amid-breakup-rumors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.
Fox was previously married to actor Brian Austin Green, and the two share three children together. Their divorce was finalized in 2022. She started dating the rapper in late 2020 after they met on the set of their movie &#8220;Midnight in the Switchgrass.&#8221; In January, Fox announced the two were engaged. Kelly has a daughter from a previous relationship.

A university professor is warning his administration, and universities across the country, that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI chatbots</a> are the future of plagiarism.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/title17/posts/pfbid0DSWaYQVwJxcgSGosS88h7kZn6dA7bmw5ziuRQ5br2JMJcAHCi5Up7EJbJKdgwEZwl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook post</a> earlier this month, Furman University philosophy professor <a href="https://www.furman.edu/people/darren-hick/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darren Hick</a> recounted his first experience with a student who attempted to use an artificial intelligence chat software to cheat on an assignment. Hick caught the student because the AI&#8217;s work was shoddy and lacked any substance of the course material. However, he said that would not always be the case, and Hick said that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/universities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">universities</a> need to develop ways to stop the use of software to complete assignments.
&#8220;Today, I turned in the first plagiarist I’ve caught using A.I. software to write her work, and I thought some people might be curious about the details,&#8221; Hick wrote on Facebook. The student used an AI chat website called ChatGPT, where users generate prompts and scripts and an AI software generates human-like responses. The prompt the student was given, and that she gave to the software, was to write 500 words about the English philosopher David Hume&#8217;s paradox of horror.
&#8220;ChatGPT responds in seconds with a response that looks like it was written by a human—moreover, a human with a good sense of grammar and an understanding of how essays should be structured,&#8221; Hick wrote. &#8220;In my case, the first indicator that I was dealing with A.I. is that, despite the syntactic coherence of the essay, it made no sense. The essay confidently and thoroughly described Hume’s views on the paradox of horror in a way that was thoroughly wrong. It did say some true things about Hume, and it knew what the paradox of horror was, but it was just bulls***ing after that. To someone who didn’t know what Hume would say about the paradox, it was perfectly readable — even compelling. To someone familiar with the material, it raised any number of flags.&#8221;
The professor concluded that such plagiarism would be easy to spot in high-level philosophy courses where the material is obscure. But for lower-level classes or other disciplines like literature or political science, the software is a &#8220;game-changer.&#8221;
Fortunately, Hick knew about software that could detect the chatbot software, and ran a check of the student&#8217;s essay; the software found a near-certainty that the essay was fake. In experimenting with ChatGPT himself, Hick noticed some of the AI&#8217;s tendencies in composition that could help point out future chatbot-produced essays, but he noted that because the software is based on a neural network that is always learning, it will get better and harder to detect.
&#8220;Administrations are going to have to develop standards for dealing with these kinds of cases, and they’re going to have to do it FAST,&#8221; Hick concluded. &#8220;In my case, the student admitted to using ChatGPT, but if she hadn’t, I can’t say whether all of this would have been enough evidence. This is too new. But it’s going to catch on. It would have taken my student about 5 minutes to write this essay using ChatGPT. Expect a flood, people, not a trickle.&#8221;
Hick added that until his university develops a protocol to stop AI plagiarism, he will attempt to counter it in his own way by giving an impromptu oral exam to a student suspected of using similar software.

A roiling controversy has sprung out in the world of professional cornhole, the game in which players toss bags of resin beads into a hole in slanted boards.
The No.1 ranked doubles team at the 2022 American Cornhole League World Championships in August was accused of cheating in a scenario now referred to as BagGate.
“They’re too small,” color commentator Mark Pryor pointed out when officials inspected the bags of Mark Richards and Philip Lopez. “That’s going to create some drama.”
But then Richards and Lopez asked officials at the event to check their opponents’ bags. They were not proper either.
The American Cornhole League, with roughly 155,000 members, has a contract with ESPN and featured 22,000 events this year, with top players able to make $250,000 per year.
Rules stipulate that the cornhole bag — six by six inches when flat, weighing 16 ounces —  that rests on the board without passing through the hole is awarded one point; a bag thrown through the hole or knocked through by another bag garners three points. The winner is the first player or team to score 21 points.
Since a bag that is thinner and less hefty could be easier to throw through the holes, various techniques and tools have been utilized to alter the resin beads, including vinegar-washing , sandpaper, or hammers. Nate Voyer, a cornhole professional, told <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/cornhole-cheating-scandal-baggate-11667312803?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=Will+SCOTUS+Can+College+Affirmative+Action%3F&amp;utm_campaign=Will+SCOTUS+Can+College+Affirmative+Action%3F">The Wall Street Journal</a> that he knew someone who covered his bag with plywood, then drove his car over it.
“All it takes is one bad apple,” he lamented.
On the Addicted to Cornhole Facebook page, one commenter wrote after the alleged scandal occurred, “I think it’s funny that anyone believed it would be all friendships and rose petals forever in cornhole.&#8221;
&#8220;Now the dirty underbelly is being exposed,” the commenter added.
After the competitors’ bags were examined at the August event, officials at the world championships said that no intentional flouting of the rules had occurred.
“We’ve really had to crack down to make sure that all these bags are to spec,” said ACL spokesman Trey Ryder, acknowledging the ACL will implement random bag checks at tournaments. “Internally we’ve had to invest more into our compliance. &#8230; We believe we are taking a major step,” Mr. Ryder adds.
Cornhole professional Jay Corley told the Journal, “I think we’re going to have to go to having a referee just like any other sport.”
Despite the controversy, Voyer, a former school administrator, enthused, “Now I get money to play a backyard game. Are you kidding me?”

The American Cornhole League World Championships land in Rock Hill.

‘Thousands Of F***ing Dollars You Stole From Everyone’: Outrage At Pro Fishing Tournament After Winners Allegedly Caught Cheating

Outrage At Pro Fishing Tournament After Winners Allegedly Caught Cheating

Cleveland

World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen addressed the board game’s officials and fans Monday after making an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unprecedented-worlds-1-chess-master-resigns-after-one-move-against-suspected-cheater">unprecedented action</a> during a tournament last week by resigning after one move against a player he suspected of cheating.
“I know that my actions have frustrated many in the chess community,” Carlsen said.” I’m frustrated. I want to play chess. I want to continue to play chess at the highest level in the best events.”
On September 4 at the Sinquefield Cup, Carlsen withdrew in his match against his 19-year-old opponent, Hans Niemann, leaving the chess world in a bit of a stalemate.
Carlsen, who had led the standings at the Julius Baer Generation Cup after the opening rounds, signaled his refusal to compete against Niemann after making two conventional pawn moves.
Niemann had previously admitted to cheating twice in online games when he was younger, calling them mistakes he made because he was young.
Carlsen said he believes Niemann has recently cheated more and called his board progress “unusual,” which has soared from 2484 in January to 2701 after his victory.
“I had the impression that he wasn’t tense or even fully concentrating on the game in critical positions while outplaying me as black in a way I think only a handful of players can do,” he said. “This game contributed to changing my perspective.”
Niemann denied such claims he had cheated against Carlsen and further bragged about his victory, saying, “it must be embarrassing for the world champion to lose to an idiot like me.”
“I feel bad for him,” Niemann added.
After Carlsen’s withdrawal, American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura said it occurred because Carlsen thought Niemann was “probably cheating.”
Sinquefield Cup organizers implemented a 15-minute broadcast delay of games to interfere with any possible outside aid for players, adding extra scans to detect suspicious radio frequencies and using metal detectors to discover other gadgets players might use to cheat.
Carlsen’s resignation did not affect his play in other games at the virtual tournament.

World Chess Champion Checks Tournament Opponent; Backs Up Claims Of Suspected Cheating

Chess

The number one chess player in the world made a stunning move on Monday against a player who was widely suspected of cheating against him in a recent tournament: he resigned after one move.
Thirty-one-year-old Magnus Carlsen’s resignation after one move signaled his refusal to compete against 19-year old Hans Niemann; Carlsen had led the standings at the at the Julius Baer Generation Cup after the opening rounds Sunday; his resignation does not affect his play in other games at the virtual tournament.
“What happened? What?!” Woman Grandmaster Tania Sachev exclaimed on the broadcast of the event when Carlsen’s camera signed off. “Magnus Carlsen just resigned, got up, and left … And that’s all we know right now,” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/chess-cheating-magnus-carlsen-hans-niemann-11663617396" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Event announcer Peter Leko <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11230979/Chess-World-No-1-Magnus-Carlsen-resigns-one-against-Niemann.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">echoed</a>, “Wow. Speechless, yeah? What to say, what to say? And the story continues.”
“This is unprecedented. I just, I can&#8217;t believe it,” Sachdev responded. “Did that just happen, Peter? Magnus just refusing to play against Hans. He will play the tournament, but he is saying I will not play the game against him. That&#8217;s making a very big statement.”
On September 4 at the Sinquefield Cup, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/naked-chess-and-anal-beads-cheating-rumor-rocks-world-of-elite-grandmasters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlsen withdrew in his match against Niemann</a>, stunning the chess world. Niemann’s chess Elo ranking spectacularly soared from 2484 in January to 2701 after his victory, eliciting questions as to whether he had cheated.
Those claims seemed to gain ground because Carlsen tweeted, “I&#8217;ve withdrawn from the tournament. I&#8217;ve always enjoyed playing in the @STLChessClub, and hope to be back in the future” accompanied by a video of football manager Jose Mourinho saying: “If I speak I am in big trouble.”
Mourinho made that statement after a game in which his team lost but fans felt officials’ had made calls that caused the loss.
After Carlsen’s withdrawal, American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura said it occurred because Carlsen thought Niemann was “<a style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/x6o1k8/hikaru_i_think_that_magnus_believes_that_hans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link-name="in body link">probably cheating</a>”.
Niemann bragged after his victory, “It must be embarrassing for the world champion to lose to an idiot like me. I feel bad for him.”
Although Niemann has admitted cheating twice in online games when he was younger, calling them mistakes he made because he was young, he denied claims he had cheated against Carlsen. <a href="http://chess.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chess.com</a> countered Niemann’s claims and shown evidence that he had cheated more frequently.

Significantly, prior to those measures being taken, Niemann had won two of his first three games. But after they were used, he lost or drew his last six games.

A source shared with the outlet that regardless of this news, &#8220;Khloé and Tristan are not back together and have not spoken since December outside of co-parenting matters.&#8221;
&#8220;The baby was conceived via surrogate before it was revealed to Khloé and the public that Tristan was having a baby with someone else in December,&#8221; the source added.
Khloé and Tristan had been dating off and on for several years, starting in 2016. In 2018, the two welcomed a daughter together who they named True. During Khloé&#8217;s first pregnancy, Thompson allegedly <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/khloe-kardashian-and-tristan-thompsons-relationship-timeline-w505561/its-true/">cheated on her</a> with another woman, with the reality TV star finding out while she was nine months pregnant.
The news about the former couple expecting appears to shed some light on comments &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-kardashians-season-2-trailer-drops-showing-kris-jenner-hospitalized-kim-kardashian-asking-pete-davidson-to-shower-with-her-and-more">The Kardashians</a>&#8221; star made during the March 2021 premiere episode of the family&#8217;s final season of &#8220;Keeping Up with the Kardashians,&#8221; in which Khloé talked about the possibility of having a &#8220;high-risk&#8221; pregnancy if she was ever to get pregnant again.
During that chat, her sister, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-promises-to-spill-details-about-her-relationship-with-pete-davidson-in-upcoming-series">Kim Kardashian,</a> talked to her about the idea of surrogacy, which Kim had experienced after welcoming two of her and ex-husband Kanye West&#8217;s children together via surrogate, People magazine noted.

A professor at Chapman University in Orange, California, is going the extra length to find out if his students cheated after he discovered that his midterm and final exams from last year were uploaded to a popular website. 
Business Law Professor David Berkovitz filed a federal lawsuit against a group of his students, accusing them of copyright infringement, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/17/us/chapman-law-cheating-professor.html">reported</a>. Berkovitz wants to make the website Course Hero to turn over the names of the students in his class who uploaded his past exams which also contained sample answers, his lawyer Mark Hankin said, according to The Times. 
“If successful, Professor Berkovitz plans to turn over the names to Chapman’s honor board, Mr. Hankin said,” the report states. “Because Chapman’s business school requires grading on a curve, Professor Berkovitz is worried that students who cheated may have unfairly caused their classmates who played by the rules to receive grades lower down on the curve.”
Berkovitz came across the uploads of his old exams online in January and surmised that the exams were uploaded and used by some of his students to cheat on this year’s exams. He was mainly concerned that the unnamed group of students he believes used the uploaded material to study for exams are “hurting their fellow classmates.” Hankin assured that Berkovitz is “certainly not in this for the money” and also said Berkovitz might not even pursue further legal action as long as he gets the names of the students he believes cheated through the website. 
“Course Hero, which is not named as a defendant in the suit, said it would comply with a subpoena, which Mr. Hankin said he expected to serve in the next day or two,” The Times reported. 
Sean Morris, Course Hero’s vice president of academics commented on the lawsuit, stating, “Our response is always in keeping with the law, so if they produce a subpoena, we will help them with their investigation.” Morris told The Times that Course Hero is a platform that helps students and teachers upload and share documents with each other “almost like a library.”
Course Hero allows free access for students to some documents, but to gain more access, users have to pay a $9.95 subscription fee. This isn&#8217;t the first time the website has been the center of debate. In 2009, a <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/10/06/course-hero-or-course-villain">piece</a> by Steve Kolowich for Inside Higher Ed asked if Course Hero was helping students steal others&#8217; information and cheat. “Some professors and administrators … have chafed at the idea of a site that encourages students to take professors&#8217; intellectual output, post it without permission, and then allow a company to sell access to it for profit,” Kolowich wrote, later adding, &#8220;For some, the question of whether such a site violates intellectual property protections is secondary; some officials have expressed concerns over whether Course Hero’s efforts to create a community of shared information might actually enable cheating.&#8221;
The website, however, claims it “does not tolerate copyright infringement, plagiarism, or cheating of any kind.” Course Hero told Berkovitz&#8217;s lawyer Hankin that the company would require a court subpoena to reveal the names of students uploading documents to its site.
