A high school student argues that AI detection software used in schools is unreliable and counterproductive, noting that such tools have flagged historically significant texts—including the U.S. Constitution’s Preamble and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address—as AI-generated while missing genuine AI-written text. The piece contends these detectors penalize strong writing and erode student-teacher trust, and it advocates for alternative verification methods such as revision tracking and in-class writing assessments.
