How do you deal with a student who appears to be blatantly copying and pasting from an AI generator into their submitted work and Lopeswrite doesn't identify plagiarism?

Shayla Holmes, I can usually find an exact copy of the AI and send it to them and send them this image as a warning. I will reassign it the first time and say it needs to be in their own words. I also have Grammarly, (I pay for it out of pocket), which helps catch AI. I would say warning first, reassign; then if they keep doing it, it's a zero. (Then, you have to report it if you can prove it).
If you have other work that they post or when they post to peers, and it clearly sounds different from their other posts, then there is proof.
Also, you may have some ELL adult students, so you can tell them they can use grammar apps to check to help them write a correct sentence, but it still needs to be in their own words.

I would also add these announcements prior to the class starting. This will help eliminate most of the issues. Mirta
Excellent Resource, Mirta! I would like to offer this to all of my learners in Topic 1. Do you know how I would go about citing your work?
Much needed in my classes. I have noticed that if I approach learners early in the semester in my feedback for discussion posts and assignments, they are usually very responsive and I am detecting more responsible use of GenAI content. My policies are clear about citing GenAI use, but I do not see many learners do this unless they are explicitly writing about artificial intelligence in their paper.
Side Note: At a recent educators conference I attended, one professor made a valid point about not citing AI. They said none of large language models' output are original content.

Mirta Ramirez-Espinola Thanks! I will defintely use the Do's and Dont's! Helpful resource!
Shayla Holmes LOPESWRITE may catch some items. But we do not have LOPESWRITE in the DB. Mirta
Shayla Holmes thanks for asking this question. I came to the forum to see if anyone else had this issue!
