The culprit isn't copy-paste—it's structural plagiarism, where students share solutions and rewrite them line-by-line. Here’s how algorithms that compare Abstract Syntax Trees are exposing this silent epidemic.

Your AI Detection Tool Is Probably a Random Number Generator

The market is flooded with AI-generated code detectors that promise certainty but deliver statistical noise. We audited three popular tools against a controlled dataset of 500 student submissions and found their accuracy was no better than a coin flip. It's time to demand evidence, not marketing claims, before you fail a student.
