I've been wondering what happens to Turnitin (ubiquitous academic plagiarism detector) now that students can cheat using infinite bespoke rather than finite pre-existing material. Just a few weeks ago they released a tool to "detect" ChatGPT. Obsolete already?

I've seen so much hype around these tools. Not only are they theoretically unsound, they're downright dangerous and equip folks with spurious confidence. Going forward, the default assumption should be that the content you're looking at is fake unless you have sufficiently high trust in the source.
The only robust human content verification methods I’ve heard of are interrogating the content creator afterwards to see if they can adequately explain what they wrote.
