Is there an AI for proving a student used AI?
NOT YET · nothing real. yet.No detector is accurate enough to accuse a student with. Detection scores a writing style, it does not find a trace, so light paraphrasing defeats it and non-native English trips it. Vendors advertise 99 percent; independent tests find false flags from near zero to over half. What survives a meeting with a parent is the document's edit history.

Why not yet: AI text leaves no forensic trace, so every detector is guessing from style alone, and at classroom scale even a one percent error rate means wrongly accused students every term.
What would change the verdict: This flips to yes only if models emit a durable watermark that survives paraphrasing and translation, and every major vendor is required to embed one, because nothing recoverable from the words themselves will ever carry the weight of an accusation.
People keep asking for this: “Nope, they're notoriously inaccurate. I usually use the edit history of a document” · “There's not really any accurate detectors.”
