Keep Writing Human With Phrasly.AI: Preserving Academic Integrity

The spread of generative AI tools caused a crisis of values among Australian educators who teach writing. Their fears were realized as students began bringing AI into the classroom, but the resulting crackdowns had a fallout. The inevitable response is Phrasly.AI, an AI humanizer that can protect student writing from overzealous AI detection.

The Impact of Australian Higher Ed’s Anti-AI Measures

Teachers in higher education exchange stories of catching students using AI, some chuckling about how prominent these students are, but students have frustrating stories. An increasing number of AU students have experienced the dreaded false positive, an essay they put their hearts into, only for an educator to callously toss it aside because an overly aggressive AI detection program told them to. Instead of learning about writing, the frustrated student ends up with a lesson about callous bureaucracy.

The AI-detection programs educators use are AI, and thus, they can make mistakes and come to inaccurate conclusions. Phrasly.AI is a tool designed to test work against AI detectors and “humanize” it to pass automated tests. In an ironic twist, only true life can produce human-written work, which is run through an AI to ensure that another AI doesn’t mistake it for AI-generated writing.

Backing the Australian DOE’s Official Framework

A close reading of the Australian Department of Education’s published Framework for Generative AI in Schools could have helped prevent these tools from becoming necessary.  The framework emphasizes the careful use of generative AI for learning purposes and ensures everything remains accountable and reliable. The framework even emphasizes ethical use and equity.

This framework takes on poignant meaning if only educators realize that AI detectors are a form of AI themselves. Just like the generative AI that educators so carefully defend against, Australian students must be protected against the overreliance on detectors that are just as likely to experience errors and digital hallucinations. This is, in fact, one of Phrasly.AI’s founding values. “Our team strongly believes that the current use of these detectors stunt the adoption of AI. It’s abundantly clear that artificial intelligence is here to stay and will quickly become an integral part of our day-to-day lives. Our mission is to enable the free-use of generative AI in writing- without this opportunity to learn now, the average person will pay the price in the future when they must know how to use it but never had the opportunity to learn how.” -Victor Rijo, Founder and CEO of Phrasly.AI.

Don’t Cut AI Out of Education

Phrasly.AI is born out of the best use of AI: the collaborative energy that lets technology augment and assist human creativity and expression. It’s about so much more than undetectable AI writing, but about enabling students (and educators) to improve their writing by using the new, cutting-edge tools that will define professional writing in their future careers. By providing an AI tool built on enhancing authenticity, coherence, and individual voice, Phrasly.AI is helping teach students about the potential use of AI, which has the added benefit of assisting educators in pushing against misuse and overreliance.

For Australian students who would rather focus on producing their best work than worrying about AI detection and educators looking to preserve academic integrity in their classrooms, Phrasly.AI could be a great asset. Take some extra time to think about the impact of AI detection, and look at how Phrasly.AI can help you.
