Why do teachers trust these tools so much when the false positive rate is known to be high?
It's hypocritical because AI detection tools are infact themselves AI tools.

For those of you who haven't down voted already I can explain why this happens:
Its a low paying job, the only reason to go into teaching is passion. Its great that folks are motivated, but that doesn't make them GOOD. Plenty of people pursue careers in art and music and fail, few people who pursue teaching get pushed out by "better" teachers.
Give someone a tool that lets them take the easy way out and not have to exercise critical thinking skills and this is the outcome you get.
Quality was still horrible when I was in highschool.

10 years ago, at my university, I remember there was an opening for an English associate professor. They had over 300 applicants. I guarantee you there were lots of amazing teachers in that group because they certainly weren't doing it because of the $38k starting salary.
