I’m not gonna lie I pretty much used AI to do the whole thing 

but they still caught me and gave me a 0

A man who doesnt think and uses ai can only think about other thoughts

[–]Accomplished-Deal398 52 points53 points  (10 children)

I'm not going to sugar cost this. By cheating yourself out of an education, you are going to struggle when it comes to finding a job. Entry level jobs have plummeted due to the use of AI. You're not going to be able to fool the interviewer. If you don't start improving yourself you're going to remain unemployed.

In my prior position, we fired a girl after two months. See said she could code and was able to get through the test but had no idea when it came to producing a data flow, beginning to end. Basically, she couldn't think for herself so she got booted. This is your future, if you don't start trying to improve yourself.

[–]Interested-Spectator 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Even worse - your reputation will follow you from job to job

[–]Ok_Appointment7522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a guy who directly out of university took complete credit for a project he only joined 6 months in. He got caught out and is now unemployable in the industry. Every studio knows that he lied and took credit for someone else's work.

[–]Bae429 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Ironically they picked a vibe coder over me for a job and they preferred that they used AI to code rather than me doing it manually as it was faster even tho it was less efficient

[–]ComfortableTrust5145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they got what they deserved. You are way more valuable as an AI assisted coder because you can code manually. Time to learn how to use AI to code, it’s not hard. Build a couple of apps and publish, add this experience to your cv.

[–]kanye_fan32 0 points1 point  (3 children)

How is it faster but less efficient. If you are a good software engineer ai is a great tool. This is like mathematicians complaining about calculators.

[–]Bae429 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It’s faster to come up with basic code; but the code is usually wrong or what I’ve found with AI is the code could be done in 3 lines and AI will spit out 30 lines instead. It’s less efficient to run but sure is done quicker but also it’s terrible for maintaining, they don’t even understand the code they just put a prompt and copy paste, I feel like it’s 100x better to have someone who actually understands what they’re writing but that’s just me.

[–]kanye_fan32 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is a brain dead ass take. The fact that you are a software engineer and lack understanding of how to use current technology like ai is astounding to me. I’m not sure what dogshit ai you are using but there is a reason why major tech companies give their employees paid access to Claude code/Cursor/Copilot etc. Obviously a person who doesn’t understand code is not a good employee regardless of if they use AI or not. But a software engineer manually coding vs a Software engineer who can apply his understanding and utilise tools like Ai is a very big difference. Do your research on AI before you act so self righteous.

[–]AndyceeIT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's also alarge difference between a "Software engineer who can apply his understanding and utilise tools like Ai", and a vibe coder.

One is long-term employable, the other is a meme.

[–]AdOk3759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What job was she hired for?

[–]Hot_Fly7602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lecturer when i did my geology degree that always let us use open books for exams and tests. His reasoning was in the real world youd always have those resources available, and if you didnt study and know your stuff anyway the book was completely useless to you in that kind of setting

[–]AdClassic1347 42 points43 points  (1 child)

You’re a dingus

[–]SIREN-25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My names Anderdingus

[–]AngusAlThor 79 points80 points  (5 children)

Bruv, you're lucky they didn't just fully fail you out of the course.

[–]beto2209 17 points18 points  (3 children)

Lucky you didn't get kicked out of uni tbh

[–]AngusAlThor 2 points3 points  (1 child)

First offence they wouldn't, but you would normally be on academic notice for this.

[–]TheBayHarbour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbh looking at the poster's post history and account they're just joking around/trolling but there are so many students that are actually like this.

[–]CompetitivePin7148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think they will take such a big decision

[–]BathroomWorking3554 61 points62 points  (4 children)

Have you tried asking AI what you should do now?

[–]Ok_Turnover_1235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me cackle in an inappropriate setting. Thanks lmao

[–]Ok-Push9899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, first question after this devastating failure must be “How do I best eliminate all trace marks of AI from my submitted work?”

[–]Ariodar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right to be concerned! Getting caught using AI can be a big deal...

[–]Most-Introduction-46 24 points25 points  (5 children)

Kids these days don't know what it is to have a dexy fuelled writing extravaganza 🥀

[–]FingerPus 13 points14 points  (2 children)

I remember doing an all nighter for this huge essay I left til last day. Drank so many cans of V my piss was green by the next morning

[–]Most-Introduction-46 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I literally got a HD on one of mine so I never learnt to do otherwise :')

[–]Ditzy_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But i bet you got a decent grade Didn't outsource your brain And didn't get failed for pissing in green ink xD

[–]miew1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 19, I don’t think I could get through uni without my Dex. Genuinely owe everything to that medicine. Changed my life for the better

[–]Claypool447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its really a right of passage

[–]Forward-Personality7 54 points55 points  (17 children)

Why would you cheat yourself out of learning? No don’t reply, it will probably just be AI.

[–]cute_crit[S] -4 points-3 points  (16 children)

I didn’t cheat myself out of learning — I made use of all the tools at my disposal to help maximise my potential. AI integration in assessments isn’t inherently a bad thing — and there was no ill intent in my decision, only an effort to make sure my work was of the highest calibre. This, unfortunately, led to a flagged task.

[–]Fun_Measurement1128 46 points47 points  (3 children)

Firstly, that’s dumb as fuck, secondly, did you write that comment with ai too 😭

[–]keosnap 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Legit guffaw at the em dashes in his reply

[–]Ribbitygirl 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I mean, I love an em dash, but I’m GenX - we’re probably the reason AI writing is rife with them. I still can’t imagine using it to write a fucking post comment, though.

[–]Glittering-Winter856 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Saying that cheating is making "use of all the tools at my disposal" pretty much confirms you'll never benefit from higher education

[–]buakawkicks 14 points15 points  (1 child)

This response sounds like AI

[–]PeriPeriChicken88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats the joke, irony

[–]RevolutionaryCar8240 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You absolutely did not use all the tools at your disposal. The major one you omitted was the most important one: your own brain.

Geez Louise. heed the lesson. I'm amazed you didn't get cited for academic misconduct.

[–]Onderon123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the fuck is "maximise your potential" when its just straight up fraud? You have zero potential. Just go sign up to centrelink

[–]dumplinggurl99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a HS English teacher, I would've given you a 0 based on this AI generated comment alone.

Please, while you are still young, make use of the only resource you can carry with you - your brain. It is the best time of your life to educate yourself. It only gets worse from here if you don't improve yourself.

[–]Street_Cod_4336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be trolling 

[–]wilted-wombok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I can't hear you over the rattling sound from your skull. Is that a single peanut?

[–]Same_Can_5968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using AI tools to offload cognition is always a bad thing. Always.

[–]qualiky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generational troll holy own

[–]vipchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's cheating yourself out of an education.

[–]CompletePlatypus 16 points17 points  (5 children)

You didn't do any work and are surprised at a zero?

[–]Mundane_Worth_2244 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

[–]MundaneDriver4431 9 points10 points  (0 children)

son, if you're spending 2k to 4k on a class, at least do the bare minimum of putting in effort into assessments and actually learning 💀

i do hope this post is satire. if it isn't, time to lock in buddy or else ur fried in the future

[–]duga404 19 points20 points  (3 children)

Tf do I do now

Apologize and never use AI to cheat again

[–]eucalyptusmacrocarpa 2 points3 points  (2 children)

But don't use AI to write your apology 

[–]duga404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was a given

[–]phlopit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear Sir/Madam 

[–]Savings_Dot_8387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Each course is thousands of dollars against your name, by using ai instead of learning yourself you’re only cheating yourself. If you won’t wanna fail the course put in the effort required to turn it around. If it’s mathematically possible it’s still possible.

[–]Tachibana_rika 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Must be troll post

[–]Jonhie_Ginseng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am genuinely convinced this post is some meta ironic ragebait. Actually typical for this subreddit. And his comment replies are literally AI too ain't no way this clown is a real guy.

[–]Healer1285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI is deemed cheating. You used a banned program to create an assignment that you should have done yourself. You cheated. You were graded accordingly and failure is your reward for it. You don’t want to fail then don’t cheat. Also by stating you removed all the indicators of AI shows that you were well aware it was wrong. Now redo it properly and without cheating. You are paying to learn. Paying to be educated. Why would you waste your money?

[–]curiousscribbler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*And* you trolled Reddit with a brand new account. 0 marks for the whole decade.

[–]AshleyZhou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just drop this class, although it’s already past the census day….if u r not looking for hd, then don’t use ai in the coming assignment again

[–]0sama_senpaii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly the bigger issue is admitting you used AI for the whole thing and you didn't even try to hide it. many students use ai but still heavily edit the work to make it sound less robotic. I personally just run the ai drafts through Clever AI humanizer after making adjustments to the tone and varying the sentence lengths just a bit to guarantee that low ai score. your best move is probably just to talk to the course coordinator and pray they allow a redo with some penalty instead of a zero otherwise you are pretty much cooked man.

[–]StreetVariation4026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean Heteroskedasticity?

[–]LateConfidence3845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You used it and got caught and say things like "imma low-key..."

You deserve to fail.

[–]MatthewDstantoN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're failing yourself, not just the course

[–]MoonSoonReason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heteroskibidi?

[–]Otherwise_Trifle6967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure OP is trying to troll

[–]feenixOmlette 2 points3 points  (4 children)

The secret is to use grok not chatgpt. Your first line of defence is to claim you just used AI to reword.

If they don't buy it. You need to pull out any race card, gender card anything you got.

If all of that fails it's over.

[–]Interested-Spectator 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Excellent response - just encourage skill and knowledge diminishment. Then reinforce stereotypes.

[–]feenixOmlette 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This AI thing is going to change things a lot. It's not clear to me that pretending it doesn't exist is a viable way to prepare people for the future which is what your generally paying for.

Now if you just copy paste the question into the AI and it spits something out. You don't read. And just submit... That's as much a failing on the part of the assignment structure as it is your own lack of curiosity.

The idea we can just take a test structure from literally 200 years ago. Slap on a shitty AI detector and punish people who don't bother enough to even hide the AI properly... And call it grading their knowledge on topic X.

[–]Interested-Spectator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A more reasoned response to a crappy question

[–]AcanthisittaPale1055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the rule is that AI shouldn’t be used at all, so that is not really a defence and is in fact more incriminating.

[–]Teredia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re lucky that the cost of using 100% AI is not the same as plagiarism!

Don’t be lazy, do your own work! Drop the class and pick it up again next Semester or whenever!

[–]tricksybagginsess22- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and get a chance to resit the assessment

[–]amagicmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at first is this assignment allowed you to use AI?

[–]Aware_Improvement_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheater!!!!!!!!!!!! You could lose your degree. Also employers could find out and they wil not employ you as these cases get recorded on your file.

[–]No_Property4117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn your lesson so to speak and DO YOUR OWN WORK! AI is good once you’ve already mastered a subject to basically work faster. Also, succeeding without cheating is a healthy confidence boost.

[–]Comfortable-Ad-9865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t rob yourself of the chance to learn. I’ve conducted job interviews with students who took my course, got full marks and want to tutor it. The difference between those who actually learned vs gamed the system is embarrassingly obvious.

[–]yungmaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

close enough, welcome back bigshmungus6

[–]SavvishSav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a vid with a professor going through assessments. He said an appalling number of them were AI and he could tell because they were basically the same. Over and over and over.

[–]gumble85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do stupid things…. Win stupid prizes.

I got busted for plagiarism at tafe on an assignment.

I NEVER did that again. Lucky i wasn’t kicked from the course.

Just DO your OWN work! Stop being lazy!

[–]sljacobebl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly good. I want to employ people who are capable of their own thoughts. You need to sort yourself out. Sure use AI once you can actually accomplish your own work otherwise you’re just stuffing yourself up.

[–]RevolutionaryCar8240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of doing a uni course is to acquire the skills to think and analyse for yourself and to apply systems thinking based on evidence. By using AI, you have shot yourself in the brain.

The zero mark was well deserved. Take the lesson. Don't be lazy; do the work, acquire the knowledge.

[–]KawasakiMetro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happened is AI detectors don't just look m dashes and words that are too big.

Ai detectors are incredibly sophisticated and very, very difficult to beat.

University education is serious and there is no way they would let anyone hand in AI created work.

- Don't use AI Humaniser to redo you work

- Don't hand in any work written by AI

[–]MarkusMannheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why hasn't UNSW expelled you?

[–]Prudent-Reporter4211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you were going to fail the exam anyway what was your plan for that...

[–]SmellyAssSmellyHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rage bait culture is getting too big on reddit now. Pipe down

[–]PeenJudge69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was depending on AI lol

[–]Alarming-Song2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It blows my mind that of all the horrid subreddits on this site, the UNSW one somehow manages to be easily in the top 20 lol

[–]Crazy_Pomegranate689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. I hope you fail the course lol

[–]ms_kenobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not run it through a AI detector?

[–]toentropyandbeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just write your essays yourself lmao.

[–]JScaranoMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with em dashes. The reason AI uses them a lot is because it's trained on stuff that's well written, and people who understand how to write well use them more than people who don't. I use them all the time and it's never been a problem.

You're pretty lucky to only get a zero. The risk you're taking if you appeal it is they could review it and go from 95% sure it's AI to 100%, and remove you from the whole degree rather than just fail you on one unit.

[–]Aequitas112358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's an EM dash, maybe you should try concentrating in class?

[–]Menarche_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a real post but it could be real for someone

[–]chloetheturnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh noooo the consequences of my actions….

[–]Far_Dimension_4439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What course was this for and what major do u study 

[–]RedpeG0218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

low tier bait

[–]Weary_Ad4765 0 points1 point  (1 child)

AI can be used for traffic management, crime prediction and analysis, surveillance and facial recognition, border security, cyber security monitoring, tax fraud detection, welfare fraud detection, public health monitoring, disaster prediction and response, smart city management, road safety monitoring, passport and visa processing, military strategy and Defence systems, satellite image analysis, environmental monitoring, emergency calls, court case document analysis, immigration processing, urban planning, public service chat bots, mobile phone detection while driving, and traffic fine detection… but apparently using it to help with homework is where society draws the line... sorry

[–]Same_Can_5968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of homework is to learn. If you use AI to offload the most basic learning and thinking processes of your brain you will end up dumber. This is documented.

[–]cohen93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you do now is not use AI and actually do your course properly :)

[–]Sea_Till6471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to pay this massive HECS cost and you’re not going to even get anything out of it?? What a waste of time and money.

[–]Infinite_Ouroboros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relying on AI to do everything, then what use would a company have for you since anyone can input prompts. OP speed running permanent unemployment if they keep this up.

[–]ExcitableDolphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is academic misconduct.

[–]options_bin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just try resubmitting. There are services that can remove the AI percentage and rewrite the entire thing for you. First thing, you must do yourself. If not enough time, ask for extension and teachers do understand the situation and do allow an alternate date of submission. If still short of time, avail these services. Dm me.

[–]ill-esthesia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re finding out the hard way that you have to grow up and think for yourself. Must be rough.

To answer your question of “tf do I do now”?

Your own studies, that’s what you do now.

[–]Xaropit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually they fail you out of the entire course

[–]Professional-Log2615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

next time add intentional spelling mistakes into ur thing bc it fools ai detectors 100% of the time. also ai detectors are simply innacurate so create an argument for that.

[–]Flimsy_Gap_8475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well at least the piss is not as embarrassing as going to uni and using AI to do your work.

[–]Flat-Banana3903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly do the work yourself , you cheated you were caught man up or quit the course

[–]This_Ease_5678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be time to actually hit the books and get smart.

[–]hudnut52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tf you do now is fail the course. Which is appropriate.

NExt time do the work yourself, instead of expecting something for nothing.

[–]colonelmattyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't stress. AI will take your job before you finish your course anyway. You're already toast.

[–]Historical_Laugh2193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s embarrassing that you even got into Uni.

[–]Intelligent-Bat-3984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stop using ai chud

[–]Fooa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucked in.

You failed the IQ test.

[–]HARRY_FOR_KING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say that's pretty dumb dude. If you are still not educated enough in your field to tell how dumb an AI looks you shouldn't rely on it. It will self report in ways you won't even know.

[–]Thepharmaceutical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My G, you've gotta use your brain 👁️👅👁️. You've got one, also gpt has a learn feature which actually really works for coding and learning principles

[–]SaltbushBillJP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t u use a humaniser. I use walter writes ai. Im amazed by how people are stupid enough to just submit assignments without humanising their obvious use of ai

[–]Malaka_14 -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Can’t u contest it if u can explain ur work

[–]MarkusMannheim 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Fuck that. I lecture at another uni. When students request a remark, it can be incredibly time-consuming. Don't encourage the OP to lie about their (lack of) effort: the repercussions suck time out of many other people's lives.

[–]Malaka_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone so serious on this reddit. if u can explain ur work that u understand it I got no issue with chatgpt tbh. saves time. this bloke obviously knew nothing though. but if he learns it then technically he can contest it

[–]cute_crit[S] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

Yeah but idk what my work is I just got the ChatGPT to do it

[–]Malaka_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well learn it and then contest it u can legit have 100% chat gpt if u can explain it
