In this video, I explain how AI detectors really work, why they’re unreliable, and what you can do to protect yourself. I also discuss how using ChatGPT, Copilot, and even Grammarly and Quillbot can increase the chances of you being accused of using AI in your assignments. WHO AM I? If this is your first time to my channel - Hi! 👋 I’m Theresa. I was a high-school drop out before heading off to university as a mature age student. I'm now a qualified Geologist, researcher, and lecturer with a PhD. In my videos, I talk about everything I learnt at university to make your experience easier and more enjoyable.
