Several Chinese universities are implementing AI detection tools to combat academic dishonesty in student papers. However, these tools are generating false positives, incorrectly flagging original work as AI-generated. This is forcing students to either simplify their writing to avoid detection – effectively "dumbing down" their content – or resort to paying for rewriting services to circumvent the AI detectors. The situation has led to a burgeoning market of tools and services designed to help students bypass these AI detection systems, highlighting the ongoing arms race between academic institutions and students seeking to leverage or avoid AI in their coursework.
