Hello Everyone,

This was sent to me by my administration at Seton Hall Preparatory School today:

"In the never-ending arms race of cheating and catching cheating, the site, TwainGPT <https://www.twaingpt.com/>, can take text produced by AI and "Humanize" it so that Turnitin and GPTZero cannot detect AI at all.”

I wish it known that for almost three years, our English Department has banned the use of AI in all major writing assignments.  The essays are done by hand, in a class period.

It is kind of a left-handed compliment that the app is called by our hero’s name . . . but then again, doesn’t his writings remind us that we are human, and his works remind us to better “humanize” ourselves?

Respects,

John Pascal, M.B.A., M.A.
