But Inside Higher Ed released the student-level data — both scores, for all 59 students who completed the course. That is so much more than just two averages. It's a pairing!

I'm grateful to have been in (asynchronous) communication with @kylesiler.bsky.social about his important paper, "The diffusion of large language models in published academic articles." A colleague and I had comments; Siler had great responses. Read his insightful work and the…
AI Weekly's analysis

- By 2025 roughly 57% of articles across 7.3 million sampled papers showed LLM-associated language, up from about 12% in 2023.
- The study, by Kyle Siler of the University of Toronto in PNAS, spans full texts from Elsevier, Frontiers, MDPI, and PLoS from 2020 to 2025.
- Lower-ranked institutions, young for-profit publishers, and regions further from English as a primary language showed the highest LLM-associated language rates.

🧵🚨: Remember the recent #genAI cheating scandal at Brown? Everyone talks about the average score drop from take-home midterm to proctored final: 95.7 → 48.8. That number alone can't settle anything. But the released data can, and almost nobody has looked at it. So we did! Read…
Nerds: I'm proud to share new work on fingerprints. Most matchers hunt tiny ridge “landmarks” through partly proprietary pipelines. We asked: what if you ignore the landmarks and use the topology of the ridge/valley pattern itself? It still carries a strong identity signal and…
