In your opinion, how to build an IT anti-plagiarism system that will verify essays written by students in schools and credit and diploma theses written by students in universities, taking into account the issue of possible and incompatible with the rules of the school, university use of automatic text generation tools, use of artificial intelligence, including, for example, ChatGPT? ChatGPT, i.e. taking into account the issue of the author's observance of copyright, correct use of sources, from other publications, reliable independent editing of the text of the essay, thesis, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral and other theses?
One solution may be to build an IT anti-plagiarism system, which would also use artificial intelligence solutions analysing the degree of similarity between texts written by pupils in school essays and theses written by students in universities with texts generated by e.g. ChatGPT and concerning the same issues.
However, before such a computerised anti-plagiarism system can be used to verify essays written by students at schools and pass theses and diploma theses written by students at universities, taking into account the possible use of artificial intelligence, including e.g. ChatGPT, certain changes should be made to the rules and regulations of schools, colleges and universities, taking particular account of the author's observance of copyright, the correct use of sources and other publications, and reliable, independent editing of essays, diploma theses, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral and other theses. Besides, before such an IT anti-plagiarism system is built, other supplementary and auxiliary solutions can be applied.
Another solution may be for teachers to require pupils and students to reliably, fully, methodologically demonstrate the data sources, source publications for all specific phrases, wording, content, information, statements, for every sentence that was not written from the author's own autopsy, the author's own experience of the work, etc. used in the written essay, credit work and other work. This type of solution may also be helpful on the issue of verification of the accuracy of the writing, i.e. without the use of a ChatGPT-type tool carried out by an IT anti-plagiarism system, which will verify this issue by comparing the content of the written work with the knowledge base used by ChatGPT. Therefore, it may be necessary to make the knowledge base used by ChatGPT (currently a knowledge base created on the basis of content downloaded in 2021 from a number of selected websites) available to IT companies developing IT anti-plagiarism systems that verify the above-mentioned issue of the reliability of the written text, i.e. without the use of a ChatGPT-type tool.
Another interim solution for the period before the creation of an IT anti-plagiarism system to verify the accuracy of the writing, i.e. without the use of the ChatGPT tool, could be for teachers to require their students to prepare and carry out project work requiring the use of various aspects of creativity as an alternative to written essays, credit essays and dissertations.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How, in your opinion, to build an IT anti-plagiarism system that will verify essays written by students at schools and credit and diploma theses written by students at universities, taking into account the issue of possible and incompatible with the rules of the school, university use of automatic text generation tools, use of artificial intelligence, including e.g. ChatGPT, i.e. taking into account the issue of the author's observance of copyright, correct use of sources, from other publications, reliable independent editing of the text of the essay, thesis, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral and other theses?
How to build an IT-based anti-plagiarism system that will verify the theses and dissertations written by students for possible use in their ChatGPT?
What do you think about this topic?
What is your opinion on this subject?
Please respond,
I invite you all to discuss,
Thank you very much,
Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on an honest approach to discussing scientific issues and not the ready-made answers generated in ChatGPT, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.
The above text is entirely my own work written by me on the basis of my research.
I have not used other sources or automatic text generation systems such as ChatGPT in writing this text.

Essays and assignments can be easily designed parametrically to be slightly different from one student to another. Much easier if some calculations involved but worth the effort if descriptive answers vary upon some personalised assigned figures/variables/etc.
Using this way I have saved huge amount time in marking to easily cover the designed parametric bits of the question.

Very appropriate topic and interesting challenge too. Hope some good solution coms up the IT way, sooner the better.
The popular plagiarism detector 'Turnitin' now has an AI writing detector incorporated into it. I think it will help in this regard.
If the students submit soft copies, copy the whole document and paste it into chatGPT then type to ask AI if it was its work. AI will recognise its work.
