Professor Catches 32 Students Cheating with AI Trick

Professor Jason Gibson at Alcorn State University in the US shared a clever trick to catch students using AI to cheat. He hid a prompt in white text on an exam paper, telling the AI to describe 'Madagascar' in a nonsensical way, which students couldn't see. Of 35 papers, 32 showed weird answers, like mentioning 'Madagascar floating sideways in the afternoon' after discussing the Industrial Revolution. The professor gave them a chance to explain, and 30 admitted cheating, while 2 tried to defend themselves.
