TOEFL Speaking (for the AI Era)
Are AI Detectors Any Good?
In this episode of the TOEFL Speaking Prep Podcast, we dive into the world of AI detection tools. With AI-generated essays becoming more common, schools are relying on AI detectors to catch them. But how accurate are these tools, and can they really tell when a student is using AI?
We explore fascinating research that tested 30 different AI detectors and uncovered surprising results—only two detectors passed the test. We’ll discuss why most detectors fail, the risks of over-relying on them, and the bigger question: what role should teachers and human intuition play in detecting AI? Whether you're a teacher, a student, or just curious about the future of AI in education, this episode offers key insights on what AI detection can and can’t do.
