Security and Ethics

  • If you sign up with your Pipeline Google account, you will probably lose access to the tool.
    • Use a personal Gmail account. (make a free one)
    • Sign up with an email address. (no data connection)
    • Keep a Spreadsheet of tools and email addresses
  • Do NOT share student information (including papers) with tools without students permission. (use Turnitin for AI detection).
  • Know tools like Stealthgpt.ai can bypass AI detectors.
  • AI tools remember what you give them. And they use that information to grow their tool.

Bonus: List of AI Software

This list is growing & changing based on what we read daily from The Neuron, The Rundown, and The Medium.

All AI listed had a free component at the time it was added - this may/will change.

You will need to create an account with most. Use the method where YOU fill in your email address and create the password - not the Google button.

If you locate out of date information, email Say and let her know. :)
